Just Like a Woman

Nobody feels any pain

Tonight as I stand outside the rain

Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes

But lately he sees her ribbons and her bows

Have fallen from her curls

She takes just like a woman--yes, she does

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

Yes, I believe that I'll go see her again

Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed

Till she finally finds out that she's like all the rest

With her fog, her amphetamines, and her pills

It was raining from the first

And I was dying there of thirst

So I came in here

And your long-time curse hurts

But what's worse is this pain in here

I can't stay in here

Ain't it clear

That I just don't fit?

Yes, I believe it's time for me to quit

When we meet again introduced as friends

Well, please, don't let on that you knew me when

I was hungry and it was your world

I fake just like a woman--yes, I do

I make love just like a woman--yes, I do

And I ache just like a woman

But I break, yes, I break like a little girl

She takes just like a woman

She makes love

She makes love just like a woman

She takes love

She aches just like a woman

Oh, but she breaks--yes, she breaks
