Lyrics Ricky Nelson

Ricky Nelson

Just Like a Woman

Nobody feels any pain

Tonight as I stand inside the rain

Everybody knows, baby's got new clothes

Lately I see her ribbons and her bows

Have fallen from her curls

She takes just like a woman

Yes she does, and she makes love just like a woman

Yes she does, and she aches just like a woman

But she breaks just like a little girl

Queen Mary, she's my friend

I believe I'll go see her again

Nobody has to guess, baby can't be blessed

Till she finds out she's like all the rest

With her car, her amphetamines, and her pearls

You take just like a woman

Yes you do, and you make love just like a woman

Yes you do, and you ache... a woman

But you break just like a little girl

It was raining from the first

And I was dyin' there of thirst

So I came in here

Well, your long time curse hurts, but what's worse

Is this pain in here

I can't stay in here

Ain't it clear

I just don't fit

I believe it's time for us to quit

And when we met again, introduced as friends

Please don't let on that you knew me when

I was hungry, it was your world

'Cause you take just like a woman

Yes you do, and you make love just like a woman

Yes you do, and you ache... a woman

But you break just like a little girl
