It Takes A Lot To Know A Man Lyrics - My Favourite Faded Fantasy - 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 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 be 

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 using of the guide? 

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 the 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 Nervous and you're sorry...) 

(crying like, a baby saying this thing is killing me) 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 know you can't laugh? 

(Know you can, have to know...)
