A Man's Gotta Give Up A Lot - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

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 to take 'em home with you

But it takes a whole lot to keep 'em there with you

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 your 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 to take 'em home with you

It takes a whole lot to keep 'em there with you

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

Yes, Tiny
