Just Like A Woman

(album: As Is - 1966)

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

Oh, she takes just like a woman
Yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
Yeah, but she breaks just like a little girl

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 amphetamines and her pearls

Oh, she takes just like a woman
Yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
Yeah, but she breaks just like a little girl

It was raining from the first
I was dying of thirst
So I came in here

And your longtime curse
Hurts but what's worse
Is this pain in here?
I can't stay in here, ain't it clear?

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

Oh, she takes just like a woman
Yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman
She aches just like a woman
Yeah, takes just like a woman
Yeah, makes love just like a woman
