Damien Rice "It Takes a Lot to Know a Man" lyrics

It Takes a Lot to Know a Man

It takes a lot to know a manIt takes a lot to understandThe warrior, the sageThe little boy enraged

It takes a lot to know a womanA lot to understand what's hummingThe honeybee, the stingThe little girl with wings

It takes a lot to give, to ask for helpTo be yourself, to know and love what you live withIt takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feelThe slow reveal of what another body needs

It takes a lot to know a manA lot to know, to understandThe father and the sonThe hunter and the gun

It takes a lot know a womanA lot to comprehend what's comingThe mother and the childThe muse and the beguiled

It takes a lot to give, to ask for helpTo be yourself, to know and love what you live withIt takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feelThe slow reveal of what another body needs

It takes a lot to give, to ask for helpTo be yourself, to know and love what you live withIt takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feelThe slow reveal of what another body needs

It takes a lot to live, to ask for helpTo be yourself, to know and love what you live withIt takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feelThe 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 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")You wrote me to tell me you're nervous and you're sorryCrying like a baby saying "this thing is killing me"
