A Woman in Love (It's Not Me) Lyrics

She laughed in my face, told me goodbye
Said "Don't think about it, you can go crazy
Anything can happen, anything can end
Don't try to fight it, don't try to save me"

She's a woman in love
She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She don't want to see
She's a woman in love, but it's not me

Well alright, do what you want
Don't try to talk, don't say nothin'

She used to be the kind of woman
You have and you hold
She could understand the problems
She let the little things go

She's a woman in love
She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She don't want to know
She's a woman in love, she can't let go

Time after time, night after night
She would look up at me and say she was lonely
I don't understand the world today
I don't understand what she needed
I gave her everything, she threw it all away on nothin'
She's a woman in love

She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She don't want to see
She's a woman in love, but it's not me

Cover art for A Woman in Love (It's Not Me) lyrics by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

I imagine that the context of this song involves a breakup and her father (who approved of him) has called him to find out what has happened. That would be who the song is addressed to, explaining that he has done all he could, this new guy she left him for is trouble and there's nothing neither of them can do about it.
