Just Like a Woman Lyrics

Cover art for Just Like a Woman lyrics by Bob Dylan

I have to disagree with you. NOT because I am female just that your interpretation might be a bit off. I think Dylan is talking about a woman who at one point in her life had it all and needed no one to help her get by.

"Ev'rybody knows That Baby's got new clothes But lately I see her ribbons and her bows Have fallen from her curls."

But some life changing event happened and now she's forced to build up herself again.

"Nobody has to guess That Baby can't be blessed Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls"

"Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do You make love just like a woman, yes, you do Then you ache just like a woman But you break just like a little girl."

And this part is about how she shrugged it off and looked like she moved on but Dylan knows her secret that she's just as fragile as a little girl.
