I've Never Been a Woman Songtext

von Father John Misty

Never be no woman but I know the pain
The pain of labor and the warpath of age
I've been with so many yet none have seen through
Despite their intuition, the extent of the ruse
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman
Why I must I befriend each and every girl
I meet in the lively lit bars of this dying, dark world
I'm doped up on laughter, they always oblige
This emptiness in me with wet, glassy eyes
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman
But they've given me my life
True love bears nothing in common with this
This constant amusement some ceaseless caress
Yet I accept nothing, no price could be paid
For the occasional miracle with Marissa or Jane
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
My time is so brief and I cannot pretend
That I can sustain you like this 'til the end
Don't lie to the ladies, it does not take words
All it takes is an inkling that you, they can cure
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
That much is sure
Wandering hunger, honin' corrupt
Lays wait in each moment while you tend, while you selflessly touch
Satisfy and sate her the only one in the room I can see
Who's really being pleasured is me, is me, is me
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
But I've known pain
