Just tell me what you've got to say to me I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth It comes as no surprise at all you see So cut the crap and tell me that we're through Now I know your heart, I know your mind You don't even know you're being unkind So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways Just use me up and then you walk away Boy, you can't play me that way Well I guess what you say is true I could never be the right kind of girl for you I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman When I saw my best friend yesterday She said she never liked you from the start Well me, I wish that I could claim the same But you always knew you held my heart You're such a charming, handsome man Now I think I finally understand Is it in your genes?, I don't know But I'll soon find out, that's for sure Why did you play me this way? Well I guess what you say is true I could never be the right kind of girl for you! I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman Well I guess what they say is true I could never spend my life with a man like you I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman

A canção utiliza uma amostra de trompete abafado tocado por Nat Gonella, gravada originalmente em 1932 na música "My Woman" da banda Lew Stone and his Monseigneur Band.
Foi o primeiro hit com inverão de gênero a alcançar a primeira posição na parada de singles do Reino Unido, apresentando vocais masculinos cantados a partir de uma perspectiva feminina.
Após ganhar destaque no BBC Radio One através do selo independente Parasol Records, o EP contenant a faixa foi relançado em janeiro de 1997 por grandes gravadoras como Chrysalis, Brilliant! e EMI Records.
O clipe musical da faixa foi filmado em preto e branco, imitando o estilo cinematográfico dos filmes mudos.
Além de ter liderado as paradas no Reino Unido, Islândia e Espanha, a música alcançou o top 10 em outras 12 nações e chegou à posição 23 nos Estados Unidos.
Em 2010, a publicação Pitchfork elegeu a faixa como a 158ª melhor música da década de 1990.
