It Takes A Lot To Know A Man

Damien Rice

INTRO: VERSE It takes a lot to know a man It takes a lot to understand The warrior, the sage The little boy in rage It takes a lot to know a woman A lot to understand what's humming The honey-bee, that stings The little girl with wings Chorus It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to be, to touch, to feel, the slow re-veal of what another body needs VERSE It tales a lot to know a man A lot to know to understand the father and the son the hunted and the gone It takes a lot to know a woman A lot to comprehend what's coming The mother and the child The muse and the beguiled Chorus It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to be, to touch, to feel, the slow reveal of what another body needs Chorus It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to be, to touch, to feel, the slow reveal of what another body needs Chorus It takes a lot to give, to ask for help, to be yourself to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to be, to touch, to feel, the slow reveal of what another body needs BRIDGE What are you so afraid to lose? What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (so afraid to lose) What are you so afraid to lose? What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (It takes a lot to know a man...) What are you so afraid to lose? (It takes a lot to know a man...) What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (It takes a lot to know a man...) What is it you carry on your bag? (It takes a lot to know a man...) What is it you notice when you can't laugh? (Know you can, have to know...) Instrumental OUTRO
