You Gotta Hand it to the Man

from Big Time Baby by Lesley Barth

/

lyrics

There’s no chance he’s gonna put you first
You gotta put you first.
All your plans just turn to dirt
Your grief just fuels the hurt.

They give you just enough to keep you hungry for more

You gotta hand it to the man -
He knows just how to touch you.
You gotta hand it to the man,
But he’s never gonna love you.
He’s just a growing flame
And you crave the heat while he takes all he can.
And though he’s taken nearly everything,
You still gotta hand it to the man.

You’ve begged him to finally let you in,
But don’t waste your breath with him.
He’s no good; you can quit your wondering,
It won’t change anything.

They give you just enough to keep you hungry for more

[CHORUS]

Somebody told me there’s no gain without some pain.
But I’ve never seen a flower grow without sunshine only rain.

[CHORUS]
