Merle Haggard lyrics - Man's Gotta Give Up A Lot

album: Keep Movin' On
album: All Night Long
album: Hag-The Studio Recordings 1969-1976
genre:

(Merle Haggard)

Well, a man's gotta give up a lot to keep a woman satisfied
You gotta give 'em everything you've got or they'll kick you aside
It don't take much they take 'em home with ye
It takes a whole lot to keep 'em there with ye
A man's gotta give 'em some ground to keep 'em around.

Turn everything around sideways try to look through a woman's eyes
And you'll find the whole world takes on a different view
Try to see mankind like a woman does you know what it takes to make a woman love
You know how to act when the woman comes back to you.

'Cause a man's gotta give up a lot to keep a woman satisfied
You gotta give 'em everything you've got or they'll kick you aside
It don't take much they take 'em home with ye
It takes a whole lot to keep 'em there with ye
A man's gotta give 'em some ground to keep 'em around.

'Cause a man's gotta give up a lot to keep a woman satisfied
You gotta give 'em everything you've got or they'll kick you aside
It don't take much they take 'em home with ye
It takes a whole lot to keep 'em there with ye
A man's gotta give 'em some ground to keep 'em around.

A man's gotta give 'em some ground to keep 'em around...
