When a Woman’s Had Enough Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Lord
I tried to tell him time and time again
Just wasn′t gonna be his fool
Patience is growing thin
I made it very clear
That a cheater always pays
But nothing I told that man make him change his ways

So hard for a woman to give up on her man
She'll try to keep believing, long as her heart can
Fighting lonely feelings, then the pain gets too much
Then the whole thing changes suddenly
When a woman′s had enough

He's gonna come in here tonight (ah, ah)
He's gonna find he′s all alone (ah)
Look in every room, I tell you (ah, ah)
He′s gonna find he's got an empty home (ah)
He′s gonna look into the closets (ah, ah)
The closets, they're gonna be bare (ah)
Look into the kitchen to find my good, fine dough, pal (ah, ah)


It′s hard for a woman to give up on a man
She'll try to keep believing just as long as her heart can
Fight lonely feelings, but then the pain gets too much
Then the whole thing changes suddenly
When a woman′s had enough

When a woman's had enough, enough, you know she's really, really had enough

When a woman′s had enough, enough, you know she′s really, really had enough

I'm going down to New Orleans, gonna look up my old friend
Get rid of this misery, learn to laugh again

So hard for a woman to give up on her man
She′ll try to keep believing just as long as her heart can
Fight lonely feelings, but then the pain gets too much
Then the whole thing changes suddenly
When a woman's had enough

When a woman′s had enough, enough, you know she's really, really had enough
When a woman′s had enough (when a woman's had enough)

I can't take too much of this love
(When a woman′s had enough, enough, you know she′s really, really had enough)
When a woman's had enough
(When a woman′s had enough, can't take too much of this love)

She can′t take too much of this love
(When a woman's had enough, enough, you know she′s really, really had enough)
When a woman's had enough, can't take too much of this love


When a woman′s had enough
(When a woman′s had enough, enough, you know she's really, really had enough)
When a woman′s had enough, can't take too much of this love

I can′t take to much of this love
(When a woman's had enough, enough, you know she′s really, really had enough)
When a woman's had enough, can't take too much of this love

When a woman′s had enough, enough, you know she′s really, really had enough
When a woman's had enough
When a woman′s had enough, can't take too much of this love
When a woman′s had enough, enough, you know she's really, really had enough
