F
Never been a woman
C
But I know the pain
C7
The pain of labor
F
And the warpath of age
Bb
I've been with so many
F
And yet none have seen through
C
Despite their intuition
Dm
The extent of the ruse
F C7
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman
F
Why must I befriend each
C
And every girl
C7
I meet the lively lit bars
F
This dying dark world
Bb
I'm doped up on laughter
F
And they always oblige
C7
This emptiness in me
Dm
With wet glassy eyes
Bb C7
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman
F
But they've given me my life
F
True love bears nothing
C
In common with this
C7
This constant amusement
F
Some ceaseless caress
Bb
Yet I accept nothing
F
No price could be paid
C7
The occasional miracle
Dm
With Marissa or Jane
Bb C7
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
F
My time here is so brief
C
I cannot pretend
C7
That I can sustain you
F
Like this till the end
Bb
Don't lie to the ladies
F
It does not take words
C
All it takes is an inkling
Dm
That you, they can cure
Bb C7
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
F
That much is sure
F
Wandering hunger
C
Honin' corrupt
C7
Lays waiting each moment
F
While you tend, while you selflessly touch
Bb
Satisfy and sate her
F
The only one in the room I can see
C7 Dm
Who is really being pleasured is me, is me, is me
Bb C7
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
F
But I have known pain
