It Takes a Lot to Know a Man Damien Rice

[Verse 1]
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 sting
The little girl with wings

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
