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 gonna change your life

When you're young, you think you're winning

Why worry till 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

But you're still holding my hand, 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

Maybe 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

Baby, they don'e even try, they don't even try

So all the things that I thought I could give you

Just seem to pass us by, no matter how I try

I hope you understand

This is not what I had planned for us

Heaven only knows if our dreams are 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)

Sing your promises

(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

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
