Eat For Two Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

But she couldn't stand for the way he begged and gave in 

Pride is for men, young girls should run and hide instead 

Risk the game by taking dares with "yes" 

Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now 

Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

Five months, how it grows 

Five months now, I begin to show
