Song Title: When a Woman's Fed Up
Album: R in R&B, 2003
Full Verse:
Cuz when a woman's fed up
(No matter how you beg, no)
It ain't nothing you can do about it
(Nothing you can do about it)
It's like running out of love
(No matter what you say, no)
And then it's too late to talk about it
(Too late to talk about it)
Maybe I'm just getting sappy because it's the holidays, but this R. Kelly song got me a little choked up. Here he is, lamenting the loss of a woman he really loved because of his bad behavior ("I hurt you too too many times"), and making one last attempt to get her back ("Hey woman, if you're listening, I said I miss you baby").
Now, as a Billy Joel fan first and foremost, I was extra excited to realize that this is just an updated version of his song, "Tell Her About It", where Billy sings about the mistakes he's made with women in the past in hopes of preventing a nice young man from loosing his own girl.
See here:
Listen boy
Don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away
You know I don't like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes I made
Similarly, R. says "If you don't want to find out the hard way, Then listen to this song while the record plays". And man, it seems R. really did find out the hard way. He sounds so sad in this song! It ends tragically, with lines like: "And if you ever get her back, It will never be the same", and "Some of the best cookin' you ever had/ Yes, it was and I miss her."
Awwww.... R.!
