It Takes a Lot To Know a Man - Damien Rice

Well, I ride on a mail train, babe, can't buy a thrill I've been up all night, leanin' on a window sill Well, if I don't make it to the top of the hill If I don't make it, you know my baby will And them wintertime is coming The windows are filled with frost I went to tell everybody But I could not get across Well, I wanna be your lover, baby I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost Hey, I wanna be your lover, baby I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you Now when your train gets lost

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill Well, if I die on top of the hill And if I don't make it, you know my baby will Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees? Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the Double E? Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea? Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me? Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost I want to tell everybody, but I could not get across Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost

Takes a lot to rock you, baby It takes a lot to make you smile It takes a lot to rock you baby, yeah... You make me crawl the extra mile So much for wishful thinkin' So much for beginner's luck It takes a lot to rock you baby When it comes to love, you're double-tough And it takes a lot to rock you, baby It takes a lot to make you smile It takes a lot to rock you baby, yeah... You make me crawl the extra mile Little things that used to please you Are all the things that I do wrong It takes a lot to rock you baby Tried my damndest all night long My baby drives a big Rolls Royce 'Cause my baby says she got no choice My baby wear big ol' diamond rings 'Cause my baby says she need them things Takes a lot to rock you, baby It takes a lot to make you smile It takes a lot to rock you baby, yeah... You make me crawl the extra mile Takes a lot to rock you, baby It takes a lot to make you smile It takes a lot to rock you baby, yeah... You make me crawl the extra mile Takes a lot to rock you, baby, yeah... It takes a lot to make you smile It takes a lot to rock you baby, yeah... You make me crawl the extra mile Takes a lot to rock you, baby, yeah... It takes a lot to make you smile It takes a lot to rock you baby, yeah... You make me crawl the extra mile Takes a lot to rock you, baby, yeah...

I fell for you I got butterflies in my stomach I never thought I would but I love it I never thought I could be with someone I have an attachment to you so how come if I push away and then I shove That you caught my eye just like a glove I never thought I would fall in love Until I saw you in a black dress, looking like an actress A-list like a movie star You can be my atlas, go intergalactic Wishing on a shooting star You can be my madness, we can get disastrous Take you to the loser bar Distract me from my past, and I just want to ask Can you show me who you truly are I saw you in a black dress, actress Cause you A-list like a movie star And you can be my atlas, galactic I've been wishing on a shooting star Rockstar's don't fall in love (ha) But I fell for you I really did not see it coming Usually I'm the one running Cause I'm always having afflictions But you're my addiction And I can't get rid of you I push away and then I shove That you caught my eye just like a glove I never thought I would fall in love Until I saw you in a black dress, looking like an actress A-list like a movie star And you can be my atlas, go intergalactic Wishing on a shooting star You can be my madness, we can get disastrous Take you to the loser bar Distract me from my past, and I just want to ask Can you show me who you truly are I saw you in a black dress, actress Cause you A-list like a movie star And you can be my atlas, galactic I've been wishing on a shooting star Rockstar's don't fall in love But I fell for you
