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

A Man's Gotta Give Up A Lot

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

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