I’ve Never Been a Woman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never been a woman
But I know the pain
The pain of labor
And the warpath of age
Been with so many
Yet none have seen through
Despite their intuition
The extent of the ruse
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman
[Verse 2]
Why must I befriend each
And every girl?
I meet in the lively lit bars of
This dying dark world
I'm doped up on laughter
They always oblige
This emptiness in me
With wet, glassy eyes
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman
But they've given me my life
[Verse 3]
True love bears nothing
In common with this
This constant amusement
Some ceaseless caress
Yet I accept nothing
No price could be paid
For the occasional miracle
With Marissa or Jane
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
[Verse 4]
My time here is so brief
And I cannot pretend
That I can sustain you
Like this 'til the end
Don't lie to the ladies
It does not take words
All it takes is an inkling
That you, they can cure
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
That much is sure
[Verse 5]
Wandering hunger
Old and corrupt
Lays waiting each moment
While you tend, while you selflessly touch
Satisfy and sate her
The only one in the room I can see
Who's really being pleasured
Is me, is me, is me
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
But I have known pain
