Calexico & Charlotte Gainsbourg - Just Like A Woman lyrics

rate me

Nobody feels any pain<br />

Tonight as I stand inside the rain<br />

Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes<br />

But lately I see her ribbons and her bows<br />

Have fallen from her curls<br />

<br />

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does<br />

And she makes love just like a woman, yes, she does<br />

And she aches just like a woman<br />

But she breaks just like a little girl<br />

<br />

Queen Mary, she's my friend<br />

Yes, I believe, I'll go see her again<br />

Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed<br />

Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest<br />

With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls<br />

<br />

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does<br />

And she makes love just like a woman, yes, she does<br />

And she aches just like a woman<br />

But she breaks just like a little girl<br />

<br />

It was raining from the first<br />

And I was dying there of thirst, so I came in here<br />

<br />

When your longtime curse hurts<br />

But what's worse is this pain in here<br />

I can't stay in here, ain't it clear that<br />

<br />

I just can't fit?<br />

Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit<br />

When we meet again introduced as friends<br />

Please don't let on that you knew me when<br />

I was hungry and it was your world<br />

<br />

Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do<br />

And you make love just like a woman, yes, you do<br />

Then you ache just like a woman<br />

But you break just like a little girl
