[Verse 1]
He met her in his hometown a couple of years ago
She was beautiful inside and out
How could he just let her go?
He had girls on the side and he tried to hide
But somehow she knew
Still she stayed
She stayed

[Pre-Chorus]
But she would always cry every night
But then he noticed a change
She no longer had tears on her face

[Chorus]
When a woman stops crying
You best believe she has a new plan
She's preparing for something new
Something that doesn't include you
When a woman cease to cry
She's all ready to say goodbye
Goodbye

[Verse 2]
When you stay out late
She don't call to ask where you are or where you at
She just gives you this look when you come home that says
Better watch your back
Fellas, listen to your girl when she tells you that
She's all cried out
You'd better pray that she stays
[Pre-Chorus]
If she no longer cries every night
If she doesn't complain any more
She's making her way to that front door

[Chorus]
When a woman stops crying
You best believe she has a new plan
She's preparing for something new
Something that doesn't include you
(Doesn't include you, no no)
When a woman cease to cry
She's all ready to say

[Bridge]
Just as long as she is arguing
Fussing and complaining
As long as she will cry sometimes
Everything is alright
Oh, but as soon as she is quiet
When you mess up she's silent
And has this certain smile upon her face

[Chorus]
When a woman stops crying
You best believe she has a new plan
She's preparing for something new (Help me, y'all)
Something that doesn't include you
(Baby, it don't include you)
When a woman cease to cry
[Outro]
When a woman stops crying
When a woman stops crying
When a woman stops crying over you
