Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - No Choice in the Matter lyrics

Know real well came to me on Friday and he
Had a story to tell
I've heard it a thousand times
But this one hit close to home
'Cause the woman who left him
I've taken for my own

Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder
Than a man in the throes of something real
The woman who lays down beside you
She can't help or hide you
It don't matter how she wants to feel

So I bought him a round or two
And gave him a talking to i said, "Boy
You can't let yourself get so far"
But, you can't tell a man a thing
When he's picking out diamond rings
And you yourself don't know who you are

Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder
Than a man in the throes of something real
The woman who lays down beside you
She can't help or hide you
It don't matter how she wants to feel

My hands, they used to be a young man's hands
But, I worked 'em to the bone
Where'd she even find the time to
Get to know another man?
"Leave me alone, " he said, "leave me alone"

Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder
Than a man in the throes of something real
And the woman who lays down beside you
She can't help, she can't hide you
Don't matter how she wants to feel
No, no matter how she wants to feel
