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
