It Takes a Lot to Know a Man

歌詞

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, the stings 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 to 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 be 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 be 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 be 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? (You wrote me to tell me You’re nervous and you’re sorry Crying like a baby Saying, “this thing is killing me” You wrote me to tell me You’re nervous and you’re sorry Crying like a baby Saying, “this thing is killing me” You wrote me to tell me You’re nervous and you’re sorry Crying like a baby Saying, “this thing is killing me”)
