Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm not going down on my knees

Begging you to adore me

Can't you see it's misery

And torture for me?

[Verse 2]

When I'm misunderstood

Try as hard as you can, I've tried as hard as I could

To make you see how important it is for me

[Verse 3]

Here is the plea from my love to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes ahold of my tongue in situations like these

[Verse 4]

Understand me, understand me

Understand me, understand me

[Verse 5]

Some people have to be permanently together

Lovers devoted to each other forever

[Verse 6]

And now I've got things to do

And I've said before and I know you have too

When I'm not there in spirit I'll be there

[Verse 7]

Here is the plea from my love to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes ahold of my tongue in situations like these

[Verse 8]

Understand me, understand me

Understand me, understand me

[Verse 9]

Here is the plea from my love to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes ahold of my tongue in situations like these

[Verse 10]

Here is the plea from my love to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes ahold of my tongue in situations like these

[Verse 11]

Here is the plea from my love to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes ahold of my tongue in situations like these

[Verse 12]

Thank you, thank you very much

Thank you
