Measure Of a Man

Just tell me what's the measure of a man.

Is it to provide all that he can?

Or is it just how much he can offer

To any willing heart that will receive?

Or is it just how much you can take from him

Before he truly sees?

And tell me now do you believe in truss?

'cos in my heart this quality's a must;

To give your heart so freely to someone

Knowing full well that you might not retrieve.

To give your heart so freely to someone

Knowing full well that you might not retrieve.

So here's my heart,

And here's my soul,

Take them both they're yours

But please be careful they're as delicate as you.

Tell me what's the measure of a man.

Can you find it in the distance that he ran?

To give you everything you ever wanted

So you would never have to want or need.

To give you everything you ever dreamed of, babe,

But all it bred was jealousy and greed.

So here's my heart,

And here's my soul,

Take them both they're yours

But please be careful they're as delicate as you.

So here's my heart,

And here's my soul,

Take them both they're yours

But please be careful they're as delicate as you.

Now you took what you want

And now you got what you need.

You just kick the lock and leave.

But then when you find

The real world's unkind

And it will never treat you better than me

And the sooner that you won it you will see.

So here's my heart,

And here's my soul,

Take them both they're yours

But please be careful they're as delicate as you.

So here's my heart,

And here's my soul,

Take them both they're yours

But please be careful they're as delicate as you.
