Just Like a Woman

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

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

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
She makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

It was raining from the first and I was dying of thirst
So I came in here
And your long time curse hurts but what's worse
Is the pain in here
I can't stay in here, ain't it clear

That I just can't fit
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 all the way

Ah, you fake just like a woman
You make love just like a woman
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl
Just like a woman, just like a woman

Let me see through you, baby
Just like a woman
C'mon now, just like a woman
Baby, you can break down, yeah

Just like a woman
Just like a woman
Just like a woman
Just like a woman

Show me, show me, baby
Just like a woman
Just like a woman, yeah
Just like a woman
Just like a woman
