When a woman loves
She, she loves for real
When a woman loves
She, she, she loves for real
She took me back
After I broke her heart
About a thousand times
She gave her life to me
With no regrets, she followed me
And she, and she, the girl, she raised me
And I'm forever indebted
And I'm forever indebted
I'm forever indebted to her 'cause
When a woman loves
She, she, she loves for real
When a woman loves
She, she, she loves for real, oh
She filled my soul
With the very touch of her hand
She really did
And she's got more, more faith in me than a beach got sand
And I'd like to tell her, I'd like to tell her
That I'm forever indebted
That I'm forever indebted
I'm forever indebted to her 'cause
When a woman loves
She, she, she loves for real, yeah, yeah
See, a woman's love, it will never die, no
Even when I'm dead and gone
I'm gonna love her from the sky
'Cause she's given me
Something that no other woman has given me
Woo-hoo, when I think about the girl, it makes me sing
When, when, when, when, when a
When a woman loves
She loves for real, oh, eh
When a woman loves, loves, loves
I'm telling you when she loves
She, she loves for real, oh, yeah
Woo-hoo
When she loves (when she loves)
When she loves (when she loves)
When she loves (when she loves)
Oh, when she loves (when she loves)
When she loves (when she loves)
When she loves (when she loves)
She (when she loves)
She (when she loves)
She (when she loves)
She loves for real
Thank you
About This Song
"When A Woman Loves" is a deeply confessional R&B ballad that explores themes of unconditional love, redemption, and masculine vulnerability through the lens of a man reflecting on a woman's unwavering devotion. The song presents a raw examination of how a woman's love can be both nurturing and transformative, with R. Kelly positioning himself as someone who has been repeatedly forgiven despite causing heartbreak "about a thousand times." The lyrics reveal a profound sense of gratitude and indebtedness, suggesting that the woman's love functioned almost maternally-"the girl she raised me"-indicating emotional growth and healing through her patience. Musically, the track features Kelly's signature smooth vocal delivery over lush, gospel-influenced production with layered harmonies and a slow-burning groove that allows space for emotional vulnerability. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the authenticity and depth of a woman's love when it's genuine, contrasting it with more superficial romantic connections. The song taps into universal themes about the redemptive power of unconditional love and the ways intimate relationships can fundamentally change us. It resonated with listeners because it acknowledged masculine flaws and emotional dependence in a genre often focused on conquest rather than gratitude, offering a more mature perspective on love's transformative potential.
