It Takes a Man

Well, she was sitting alone in the booth in the corner
And I know the look of a lonely woman
Me being full of liquid courage
I walked on over to lend her a shoulder
Well, it didn’t take long for her to heed right up
She told me a story of love and bad luck
As I opened the passenger door to my truck
I said, «I hope you don’t mind that I speak my mind»
It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Let me take a chance
You’ll understand you gotta give it time
It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Well, we rode every back road on my Silverado
The brown paper bag holding booze from a bottle
Got a tear in her eyes when she heard their songs
On the radio, so I held her close
She wasn’t looking for love, she only want some company
Gave me a chance and I hit the ground running
I made her laugh, she said, «I think it funny»
I said, «Moe, nobody love you like a poor man, honey»
It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Let me take a chance
You’ll understand you gotta give it time
It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Oh, baby
It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Baby, take a chance
You’ll understand you gotta give it time
It takes a man to get a man off your
Man, to get a man off your
Man, to get a man off your mind
