[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

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 cryin,

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 bout ready to say good-bye

Good-bye...



[Verse 2]

When you stay out late she don't call

To ask where you are n where you at

She just gives you this look when you 

Come home that says betta watch your back

Fellas listen to ya girl when she tells 

You that she's all cried out

You betta pray that she stays

If she no longer cries every night

If she doesn't complain anymore

She's makin her way to that front door



[Chorus]

When a woman stops cryin,

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 bout ready to say...



Just as long as she is arguing

Fussin and complainin as long

As she will cry sometimes

Everything (everything) is alright

But as soon as she is quiet

When you mess up she's silent

And has this certain smile upon her face



When a woman stops cryin,

You best believe she has a new plan

She's preparing for something new

Something that doesn't include you 

(Baby it don't include you)

When a woman cease to cry 

When a woman stops cryin [2X]

When a woman stops cryin over you
