When a Woman Goes Cold

She didn't get mad
She didn't even cry
She lit a cigarette
Then she said goodbye
I must have missed a sign
I missed a turn somewhere
When I looked in her eyes
There was a stranger there.

It's the way she's made
It's a natural fact
Once she's really gone
She can't come back
Ain't no weddin' dress
Ain't no band of gold
Gonna keep her there
When a woman goes cold

You're no longer her concern
Scorched earth cannot burn
It's out of your control
When a woman goes cold
She won't give an inch
She won't be convinced
Ain't no mercy in her soul
When a woman goes cold

I wish she'd scream and shout
I wish she'd slam a door
I wish she'd curse my name
Like she did before
But she looks through me
Like I'm not there
And I'm dying here
And she just don't care

You're no longer her concern
Scorched earth cannot burn
It's out of your control
When a woman goes cold
She won't give an inch
She won't be convinced
Ain't no mercy in her soul
When a woman goes cold
