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

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
