just like a woman

Nina Simone

I take
Just like a woman
Yes i do
And i make love
Just like a woman
And i ache
Just like a woman
But i break
Like a little girl

Nobody here feels any pain
Tonight as i stand inside the rain
And no one has to guess
That baby's got new clothes
Lately i see her ribbons and her bows
And the problems
From her curls

Refrain
I take
Just like a woman...

It was raining from the first
And i was dying her of thirst
That's why i came here
And a long time's curse
And what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear
Ain't it clear

I must admit
I believe it's time for me to quit
And until we meet again
Bein' introduced as friends
Please don't let on
That you knew me when
I was hungry
And it was your world

Refrain
I take
Just like a woman....
