Nobody feels any pain

Tonight as I stand here in the rain

Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes

But lately I see her ribbons and her bows

Have fallen from her curls



Oh, she takes just like a woman

Yes she does

And she makes love just like a woman

Yes she does

And she aches just like a woman

Yeah, but she breaks just like a little girl



Mary, she's my friend

Yes, I believe I'll go see her again

Nobody has to guess

That baby can't be blessed

'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest

With her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls



chorus



It was rainin from the first

I was dyin of thirst

So I came in here

And your longtime curse

Hurts but what's worse

Is this pain in here

I can't stay in here

Ain't it clear

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



chorus
