this song just shows dylan's mastery of melody to the fullest. the way it builds up during the first part of each verse and then unleashes that utterly devastating howl, then falls back, resigned, to the wearied "you're a big girl...".....god. just so perfectly nails the kind of emotion he's going for, frustration mixed with regret with hopelessness.
it's so good he can even put a horrible line like "time is a jet plane, it moves too fast" in there and get away with it
