Just Like a Woman

Just Like a Woman? Alright, we'll -- we'll try it.

Nobody feels any pain tonight as I stand inside the rain.

Everybody knows baby's got new clothes,

But lately I see her ribbons and her bow have fallen from her curls.

But she takes just like a woman,

She aches just like a woman,

And she makes love 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 a-baby can't be blessed

Till she sees finally she's like all the rest with her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls.

She takes just like a woman,

And she aches just like a woman,

And she makes love just like a woman, and she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first and I was a-dying out 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 a-time for us to quit.

When we meet again, introduced as friends,

Please don't let on that you knew me when I was a-hungry and it was your world.

Well, you take just like a woman,

And you fake just like a woman,

And you even make love just like a woman, but you break just like a little girl.
