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,

she makes love just like a woman,

and she aches just like a woman.

But she breaks just like a little girl.



Queen Mary, she's my friend,

oh I believe that I'll go see her again.

Nobody has to guess

that baby can't be blessed

till she finds out she's like all the rest,

with her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls.



She aches just like a woman, yes she does

she takes just like a woman, yes she does

she makes love just like a woman, yes she does

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 a' hurts,

but you know honey what's worse

is this pain in here,

I can't stay in here,

ain't it clear.



Oh I just don't fit,

I believe that it's time for us to quit.

When we meet again

and introduced as friends

please don't let on

that you knew me when

I was hungry and it was your world.



You fake just like a woman, yes she does

and make love just like a woman, yes she does

Then you ache just like a woman, yes she does

But you break just just like a little girl, break like a girl



Ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like a woman, woman, woman.
