Just Like a Woman

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight, as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
Lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls

Ah, she takes just like a woman
And she makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl, mm-mm

Ah, Queen Mary, she's my friend
I believe I'll go see her again
Ain't nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
'Til she finds out that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls

Ah, she takes just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

Oh, 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

Oh, I just can't fit
I believe it's time for us to quit
Then when we meet again
Then 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, and you make love just like a woman
And you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl
You break just like a little girl, mm-hmm-mm
