I've Never Been a Woman - Father John Misty

Never been a woman

But I know the pain

The pain of labor

And the warpath of age

Been with so many

Yet none have seen through

Despite their intuition

The extend of the route

Oh yeah I've never been a woman

Why must I befriend each

And every girl

I'm needing the lively lit bars

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

The occasional miracle

With Marissa or Jane

Oh now I've never been a woman

My time here is so brief

I cannot pretend

That I can sustain you

Like this till 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

Grown and corrupt

Lays waiting 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 have know
