Just Like a Woman

Nobody feels any pain

Tonight as I stand inside the rain

Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes

But lately I see 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 I'll go see her again

Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed

Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest

With her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls

She takes just like a woman

Yes, 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

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 can't fit

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

But when we meet again, introduced as friends

Please don't let on that you knew me when

I was hungry and it was your world

Ah, you fake just like a woman

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

Yes, you do, then you ache just like a woman

But you break just like a little girl
