|
We know each other like the palm of our hands |
|
And we have to see each other |
|
Whenever and however we can |
|
I know that I am tied up |
|
Well listen baby |
|
Well, I am tied up too |
|
And if we are caught together |
|
We've got so much to lose |
|
So if you see me tomorrow |
|
And you turn your head, baby |
|
I'll understand, I'll understand |
|
Society we're from |
|
And say it is supposed to be |
|
But there's a lot of people |
|
Going through the same changes, baby |
|
Just like you and me |
|
But listen |
|
While my sister call me low down, yes she does |
|
And my brother won't even speak, no he won't |
|
My daddy don't want me around |
|
But listen to this my mama sayin', Go somewhere else and live |
|
I know love can be a problem |
|
If you give up tryin', tryin', tryin' to solve them |
|
I'll understand, yes I will baby |
|
I'll understand |
|
If I see you walking down Main Street with your man |
|
Then I'll understand |
|
If I call you on the phone and if you have to hang up, baby |
|
I'll understand |
|
If I see you in the dance and you turned your head |
|
I'll understand |
|
If you told me to meet you somewhere, baby and you don't show up |
|
I'll understand |
