Understand

There are two people who don't like me

(Two people that I know of)

And I think about 'em day and night

(Day and night)

Ooh, ooh

I couldn't count all the times

I counted all the times

If I did something wrong

As if that's gonna do them right

Speaking of doin' it right

(While we're on the subject)

You could do it right all the time

In the big, bad world

And still people gonna think you're mean

(You're mean)

I've seen (I've seen)

Everybody is a hurtin' machine

I'd give all I have for one thing

I want you to understand me

I want you to understand me

There's nothing I want more

My heart is on the floor

I want you to understand me

I want you to understand me

I want you to understand me

There's nothing I want more

My heart is on the floor

I want you to understand me

All my cards laid out on the table

(Aces high)

And my poker face has come and gone

(Come and gone in the blink of an eye)

Ooh, ooh

I couldn't count all the times

I counted all the cards

'Til the game was done

I beat the cheat, I got the bad guy

Speaking of telling me lies

(Liar, liar, pants on fire)

I can smell the smoke

Feel the heat from a mile away

After I hose you down (Get down)

Don't drown (Don't drown)

Come up for air and be found

All along, I'm singing

I want you to understand me

I want you to understand me

There's nothing I want more

My heart is on the floor

I want you to understand me

I don't want another "maybe"

I don't want another "yes means no"

Baby, who could really blame me?

I gotta go, I gotta go, go, go

I don't want another "maybe"

I don't want another "yes means no"

Baby, who could really blame me?

I gotta go, I gotta go, go, go

I don't want another "maybe"

I don't want another "yes means no"

Baby, who could really blame me?

I gotta go, I gotta go, go, go

"Maybe"

I don't want another "yes means no"

Baby, who could really blame me?

I don't want your promises

I want you to understand

I want you to understand

There's nothing I want more

I want you to understand me

I want you to understand me

I want you to understand me

There's nothing I want more

My heart is on the floor

I want you to understand

I don't want another "maybe"

I don't want another "yes means no"

Mm-hm
