"A Love Song..."



Just Like A Woman
Performed by Nina Simone

She takes
Just like a woman
Yes, she does
And she makes love
Just like a woman
And she aches
Just like a woman
But she breaks
Like a little girl

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight, as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows
That baby's got new clothes
Lately, I see her ribbons and her bows
And the problems
From her curls

She takes
Just like a woman
Yes, she does
And she makes love
Just like a woman
And she aches
Just like a woman
And she breaks
Like a little girl

It was raining from the first
Everybody knows I was dying of thirst
So, 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 us to quit
And when 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

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

Written by Bob Dylan
Adaptation by Nina Simone
Produced by Nat Shapiro & Harold Wheeler
From her album,  Here Comes the Sun
