lyrics

THE
RECKONING
What’s a guy got to do
To get a little bit of tenderness?
All these women are so cool
Like they’ve been through a holy mess
Waiting
Watching
Listening
Understanding
(As best you can)

Being mother to your man
Must be the hardest thing
To have you love turned around
Is so disheartening
Listening
Accepting
Waiting for the
Reckoning
(That rarely comes)

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

I must have paid my dues
Trying to be a gentle man
It was the right thing to do
Just didn’t fit the master plan
Waiting
Watching
Listening
Understanding
(As best you can)

What’s a guy got to do
To get a little bit of tenderness?

FEMALE BACKING VOX:

Grow up!
