Just Another Woman In Love

Anne Murray's song 'Just Another Woman In Love' delves into the complex emotions that arise when a seemingly strong and independent woman finds herself vulnerable in the face of love. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman who is confident and in control in most aspects of her life. She is described as someone who has her life neatly packaged and is often seen as the 'girl who knows just what to say and do.' However, this facade crumbles when she is with the person she loves, revealing a softer, more vulnerable side.

The chorus captures the essence of this vulnerability. Despite her outward strength, she becomes 'just another woman in love,' likening herself to a 'kid out of school' and a 'fire out of control.' These metaphors highlight the intensity and unpredictability of her emotions. The touch of her lover makes her feel weak and fragile, like 'a feather in the wind.' This imagery emphasizes how love can make even the strongest individuals feel powerless and exposed.

In the second verse, the singer acknowledges her vulnerability, asking for pardon if she stares and trembles like a child. The 'wanting you' look on her lover's face drives her wild, further intensifying her feelings. She admits that she is shaped by her lover's actions and eagerly anticipates the moment when he will 'set all [her] feelings free.' This line underscores the transformative power of love and how it can bring out emotions that are otherwise kept hidden. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the theme of vulnerability, making it clear that love has the power to strip away all pretenses and reveal our true selves.
