From the recording Just Like a Woman

Lyrics

Just Like A Woman
Bob Dylan 1966

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.

CHORUS

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she's my friend, yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess, that Baby can't be blessed
Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest;
with her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.

REPEAT CHORUS

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 that:

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.

Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.
