He met her in his home town
A couple of years ago
She was beautiful inside and out
How could he just let her goHe had girls on the side
And he tried to hide
But somehow she knew
Still she stayed, she stayedBut she would always cry every night
But then he noticed a change
She no longer had tears on her faceWhen a woman stops cryin'
You best believe, she has a new plan
She preparing for somethin' new
Somethin' that doesn't include youWhen a woman cease to cry
She's all ready to say goodbye, goodbyeWhen you stay out late, she don't call to ask
Where you are and where you at?
She just gives you this look when you come home
That says, betta watch yo backFellas listen to yo girl when she tells you
That she's all cried out
You'd better pray
That she staysIf she no longer cries every night
If she doesn't complain any more
She's making her way to that front doorWhen a woman stops cryin'
You best believe, she has a new plan
She preparing for somethin' new
Somethin' that doesn't include youWhen a woman cease to cry
She's all ready to sayJust as long as she is arguin'
Fussin' and complainin'
As long as she will cry sometimes
Everything is all rightOh, but as soon as she is quiet
When you mess up, she's silent
And has this certain smile upon her faceWhen a woman stops cryin'
You best believe, she has a new plan
She preparing for somethin' new
Somethin' that doesn't include youWhen a woman cease to cryWhen a woman stops cryin'
When a woman stops cryin'
When a woman stops cryin' over you
