Just Like A Woman by Richie Havens
Just Like A Woman lyrics
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.
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.
Ah, Queen Mary, she's my friend
I believe I will 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 amphetamine and her pearls.
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.
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
Lord, is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear,
that I, oh, I can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
and 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
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
you break- just like-
