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

just 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

'til she finally sees that

she's like all the rest

With her fog

her amphetamine

and her pearls

She takes

just like a woman

yes, she makes love

just like a woman

yes, she does

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

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 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

Ah, you fake

just like a woman

yes, you do

you make love

just like a woman

yes, you do

Then you ache

just like a woman

but you break

just like a little girl
