The Give

(Album: Know Better Learn Faster - 2009)

Who will run my family business?
I leave it mostly unfinished
Why, why can't I?

My oldest is getting married
My youngest can barely bare me
Alive, live, live, live

Oh, sweet girl, remember this:
The saddest ones cannot resist
They'll keep you if you fall for it
But I promise they will never notice

A-ha
A-ha
A-ha
A-ha

Now I am a gentleman, a gentleman
I taught you how the water moves
Of course I love you a little bit, a little bit
And that does more than I can do

What gives? Give it to me
What gives? Give it to me
What gives? Give it to me
What gives? Give it to me

I admit everything you know
An aimless man with places to go
Again, again

Oh, sweet girl, remember this:
The saddest ones cannot resist
They'll keep you if you fall for it
But I promise they will never notice
A-ha

What gives? Give it to me
What gives? Give it to me
What gives? Give it to me
What gives? Give it to me
