This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him, oh, but I don't think you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen, you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
And I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body, so get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
Sometimes a man's caught lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you, but he's in love with me
Well, I don't know where that leaves you, oh, but I know where I stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen, you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
And I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body, so get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
No, you ain't woman enough to take my man
That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him, oh, but I don't think you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen, you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
And I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body, so get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
Sometimes a man's caught lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you, but he's in love with me
Well, I don't know where that leaves you, oh, but I know where I stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen, you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
And I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body, so get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
No, you ain't woman enough to take my man
