Songwriter: Bob Dylan
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand outside the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately, he sees her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
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 that I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
'Til she finally finds out she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamines, and her pills
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
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 don't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again introduced as friends
Well, please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Oh, I fake just like a woman, yes, I do
And I make love just like a woman, yes, I do
And I ache just like a woman
But I break, yes, I break just like a little girl
(She takes just like a woman)
She makes love
(She makes love just like a woman)
She takes love
(She aches just like a woman)
Oh, but she breaks, yes, she breaks
(She takes just like a woman)
Yes, she does, and she...
(She makes love just like a woman)
Yes, she does, and she...
(She aches just like a woman)
Yes, she does...
Tonight as I stand outside the rain

She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman

She makes love
(She makes love just like a woman)
She takes love
(She aches just like a woman)
Oh, but she breaks, yes, she breaks
(She takes just like a woman)
Yes, she does, and she...
(She makes love just like a woman)
Yes, she does, and she...
(She aches just like a woman)
Yes, she does...
