Understanding

Understanding (Album Version) - Xscape

Written by：Manuel Seal

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 we need

You don't really 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 try so very hard to make you understand

But the choices you make baby they're all demands

I try 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 want to be with you

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 we need

I listen to you baby

And I know the things you're going through

I try to understand

That's why I'm still here with you baby

See everyday we're living

Is one thing that will always be unsure

That's why I need you baby pleading baby

Please let our love endure

I try 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 want to be with you

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 we need

I try 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 want to be with you

What I need from you is understanding

How can we communicate
