[CHORUS]
Understanding Me - is easier said than done, but please don't run away
Understanding Me - is gonna take some time, but I really want you to stay
Understanding Me - may keep you awake at night, and make you wonder if it's worth the time
But understanding me is the only way to keep me in your life

[VERSE 1]
There's a couple things you ought to know
Before we try to go down this road
There's gonna be a few times
When you wanna throw your hands in the air and say "bye bye"

I hope it doesn't come to that
But you won't be the first guy that turned his back
It's gonna take a special man
To take his time and try to understand

[VERSE 2]
Since we're on this honesty thing
I might as well tell you what a day with me can bring
I'm a bit of a drama queen
Act real crazy and make a scene

I'm not trying to scare, I'm tryin' to be straight up
If this happens, you won't get tripped up
What you can expect of me
Understanding this can make it easy

[CHORUS]
Understanding Me - is easier said than done, but please don't run away
Understanding Me - is gonna take some time, but I really want you to stay
Understanding Me - may keep you awake at night, and make you wonder if it's worth the time
But understanding me is the only way to keep me in your life

[BRIDGE]
I'm not gonna lie, there are times
When all I want to do is cry
Then I ask myself why
Another lonely day has passed me by

Through the years I built a wall around me
Kept my heart under lock and key
turned away a lot of men who said they loved me
They would still be with me if they only understood me

[VERSE 3]
So now you wanna be close to me
To do that you have to be
The kind of man that takes drama in stride
Don't sweat the small things, put it aside

Here we are standing face to face
Upfront as I can be about my ways
There's love in my heart if you wanna try
But love won't come easy and I'll tell you why

[CHORUS]
Understanding Me - is easier said than done, but please don't run away
Understanding Me - is gonna take some time, but I really want you to stay
Understanding Me - may keep you awake at night, and make you wonder if it's worth the time
But understanding me is the only way to keep me in your life

[BRIDGE w/ adlib]
I'm not gonna lie, there are times
When all I want to do is cry
Then I ask myself why
Another lonely day has passed me by

Through the years I built a wall around me
Kept my heart under lock and key
turned away a lot of men who said they loved me
They would still be with me if they only understood me

[CHORUS] to end
