What I need from you is understanding
How can we communicate
If you don't hear what I say
What I need from you is understanding
So simple as 1, 2, 3
Understanding is what I need
You don't even know me
You just wanna do what you wanna do
That's not the way it should be no
You should listen to me, boy
I tried so very hard to make you understand
But the chooses you make
Baby they're all demands oh
I tried so very hard
To keep our love alive
But you don't wanna meet me half way
Then the understanding dies
There's no way that we can work it out
If we don't pull together
I don't mean to be demanding
I want some understanding
I wanna be with you
I listen to you baby
And I know the things your going through
I try to understand
That's why I'm still with you baby
See everyday we're living
There's one thing that'll always be unsure
That's why I need you baby
pleading baby
Please let our love endure
I tried so very hard
To keep our love alive
But you don't wanna meet me half way
Then the understanding dies
There's no way that we can work it out
If we don't pull together
I don't mean to be demanding
I want some understanding
I wanna be with you
All I need, All I need
All need is understanding
How if you don't hear what I say
Can't you see, baby
I tried so very hard
To keep our love alive
But you don't wanna meet me half way
Then the understanding dies
There's no way that we can work it out
If we don't pull together
I don't mean to be demanding
But I want some understanding
I wanna be with you
