       FF
Never been a woman
        C majorC
But I know the pain
      C7C7
The pain of labor
          FF
And the warpath of age
         Bb majorBb
I've been with so many
            FF
And yet none have seen through
       C majorC
Despite their intuition
         DmDm
The extent of the ruse
     FF         C7C7
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman
       FF
Why must I befriend each

     C majorC
And every girl
      C7C7
I meet the lively lit bars
        FF
This dying dark world
        Bb majorBb
I'm doped up on laughter
          FF
And they always oblige
        C7C7
This emptiness in me
         DmDm
With wet glassy eyes
      Bb majorBb        C7C7
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman
             FF
But they've given me my life


        FF
True love bears nothing
        C majorC
In common with this
        C7C7
This constant amusement
         FF
Some ceaseless caress
       Bb majorBb
Yet I accept nothing
          FF
No price could be paid
        C7C7
The occasional miracle
         DmDm
With Marissa or Jane
     Bb majorBb        C7C7
Oh, now, I've never been a woman


        FF
My time here is so brief
       C majorC
I cannot pretend
        C7C7
That I can sustain you
          FF
Like this till the end
         Bb majorBb
Don't lie to the ladies
         FF
It does not take words
          C majorC
All it takes is an inkling
          DmDm
That you, they can cure
     Bb majorBb        C7C7
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
       FF
That much is sure


     FF
Wandering hunger
     C majorC
Honin' corrupt
         C7C7
Lays waiting each moment
                   FF
While you tend, while you selflessly touch
      Bb majorBb
Satisfy and sate her
             FF
The only one in the room I can see
            C7C7           DmDm
Who is really being pleasured is me, is me, is me
     Bb majorBb        C7C7
Oh, now, I've never been a woman
         FF
But I have known pain
