Nobody feels any pain Tonight as I stand here in the rain Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes But lately I see 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 rainin from the first I was dyin 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 Yes she does And she aches just like a woman Yeah, but she breaks just like a little girl
