It Takes a Lot To Know a Man
Damien Rice

It takes a lot to know a man

It takes a lot to understand

The warrior, the sage

The little boy enraged

It takes a lot to know a woman

A lot to understand what's humming

The honeybee, the sting

The little girl with wings

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 breathe, to touch, to feel

The slow reveal of what another body needs

It takes a lot to know a man

A lot to know, to understand

The father and the son

The hunter and the gun

It takes a lot know a woman

A lot to comprehend what's coming

The mother and the child

The muse and the beguiled

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 breathe, to touch, to feel

The slow reveal of what another body needs

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 breathe, to touch, to feel

The slow reveal of what another body needs

It takes a lot to live, to ask for help

To be yourself, to know and love what you live with

It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel

The slow reveal of what another body needs

What are you so afraid to lose?

What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do?

What are you so afraid to lose? (You wrote me to tell me you're nervous and you're sorry)

What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (Crying like a baby saying this thing is killing me)

What is it you're so afraid to lose? (You wrote me to tell me you're nervous and you're sorry)

What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do? (Crying like a baby saying this thing is killing me)
