Richie Havens - Just Like a Woman lyrics

Nobody feels any pain Tonight, as I stand inside the rain Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes Lately I see her ribbons and her bows Have fallen from her curls Ah, she takes just like a woman And she makes love just like a woman And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl, mm-mm Ah, Queen Mary, she's my friend I believe I'll go see her again Ain't nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed 'Til she finds out that she's like all the rest With her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls Ah, she takes just like a woman Yes, she does, and she makes love just like a woman And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl Oh, 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 Oh, I just can't fit I believe it's time for us to quit Then when we meet again Then 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, and you make love just like a woman And you ache just like a woman But you break just like a little girl You break just like a little girl, mm-hmm-mm
