Just Like a Woman

Just like a woman

nobody feels any pain

tonight as I stand inside the rain

ev'rybody 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 makes love just like a woman, yes

and she aches just like a woman

but she breaks up like a little girl.

queen mary, she's my friend

yes, I believe I'll go and 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

she makes love just like a woman

and she aches just like a woman

but she breaks up 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 must admit

yes, I believe it's time for us to quit

when we meet again

introduced as friends

please don't let on that you knew me when

I was hungry and it was your world.

ah, you take just like a woman, yes, you do

you make love to me like a woman, yes, you do

then you ache just like a woman

but you break up like a little girl.
