Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand outside the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately, he sees her ribbons and her bows 
Have fallen from her curls

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe that I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
'Til she finally finds out that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamines, and her pills

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse is this pain in here
I can't stay in here, ain't it clear

That I just don't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again introduced as friends
Well, please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world

Oh, I fake just like a woman, yes, I do
And I make love just like a woman, yes, I do
And I ache just like a woman
But I break, yes, I break just like a little girl

She takes just like a woman
She makes love 
She makes love just like a woman
She takes love 
She aches just like a woman
Oh, but she breaks, yes, she breaks

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
She aches just like a woman, yes, she does...

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

While Stevie didn't write this song, I believe there is a reason she covered it for this album. At this time, she was battling an addiction to Klonopin, a prescription drug which Stevie has said was harder to kick than cocaine. She feels like the drug pretty much sucked the life out of her in the early nineties before she wised up to its destructive effects. She says it took her energy and happiness away and made her make a bad album she's ashamed of (I don't think Street Angel is that wretched, but that's just my opinion). In this song, a woman is hurting and has to retreat into drugs as part of her defense mechanism, but, as Stevie sings, "I believe it's time for us to quit." And she has!

 

LYN speculates:

While this is a cover of Bob Dylan's song, there are some changes that Stevie has made that reflect what she was going through. Stevie changes Bob's "I" to a "he", making the song narrative and keeping herself unattached, even though we know that she is "Baby." Then the line which was originally "her fog, her amphetamines, and her pearls" has been changed to "her fog, her amphetamines, and her pills" with a much greater influence on the drugs. When the song switches to first person her voice is strong and there, as all through the song, a hint of Dylan's mocking sneer, until she reaches "I was hungry and it was your world" and her voice is almost breaking, heavily laden with sorrow and shame.

But where Dylan would continues with his accusational "oh you fake just like a woman", Stevie says with her voice filled with pride "i fake just like a woman" and as she continues each "Yes i do" is almost jubilant, an act of accepting, and even through her pain and drugs a celebration, of who she is, that inner feminine strength we like to call sensuality, and the part of her that is fragile and and child-like and does break. Even when she says "I break, yes, I break just like a little girl" her voice is rising in a strange combination of grief and pride and joy and pain as she accepts the part of life that is death and pain and breaking down so she can build herself up again only better and stronger. At least that's the feeling I get when I listen to how she has chosen to change the lyrics and how she uses the tones of her voice. Only Ms. Nicks knows for sure.
