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 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 sees finally that she's like all the rest with her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman – yes, she does!
She makes love like a woman – yes, she does!
And then 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 don't fit? Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit.
But, when we meet again and are introduced by friends,
Please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world.
You fake just like a woman – yes, you do!
You make love like a woman – yes, you do!
And then you ache just like a woman, but you break just like a little girl.
