Understand

Woman, don't you ever wonder

Where you'd be if I just walked on by

What's your name?

Can I take your number?

Darling come with me

I'm going to change your life

When you're young you think you're winning

Why worry 'til the babies cry?

I was wrong; it's the blues we're singing

Chasing after pennies just to survive

And there's no way the gods are hearing me baby

They don't even try

They don't even try

And all the things I said I'd give you

Just seem to pass me by

No matter how I try

I hope you understand

This is not what I had planned for us

God only knows if my dreams are coming or gone

(Are coming or gone)

But you're still holding my hand

Sweetheart, (sweetheart)

And for every single day you're here

It's crystal clear

That God isn't mad at me at all

He ain't mad at me at all

And all this praying hard ain't gonna save the day

Mmmh, yeah, may be that's really what I'm guilty of

I know we live in times when love is not enough

It's not enough, (no-no-no-no-no)

And there's no way the gods are hearing me

Baby, they don't even try

They don't even try

And all the things I said I'd give you

Just seem to pass me by

(No matter how I try)

I hope you understand

This is not what I had planned for us

Heaven evenly only knows

If our dreams are coming or gone

(Coming or gone, coming or gone)

But you're still holding my hand

Sweetheart, (sweetheart)

So for every single day that you're here

It's crystal clear

That God isn't mad at me at all

He ain't mad at me at all

There's a place in my mind

Somewhere we could be fine

Where the children would play

And we'd eat like kings every day

There's a place in my mind

(There's a place in my mind)

Somewhere we could be fine

(Somewhere we could be fine)

Where the children would play

Some more promises, (some more promises)

(There's a place in my mind)

There's a place in my mind

(Somewhere we could be fine)

Somewhere we could be fine

(Where the children would play)

Where the children would play

(And we'd eat like kings every day)

And we'd eat like kings every day

(There's a place in my mind)

There's a place in my mind

(Somewhere we could be fine)

Somewhere, somewhere

(Where the children would play)

Where the children would play

(And we'd eat like kings every day

Like kings on Christmas Day)
