It Takes A Lot To Know A Man Songtext

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?
(so afraid to lose)
What are you so afraid to lose?
(Tell me, tell me, you're noticed and you're sorry...)
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...)
