Chorus:

What I need from you is understanding

How can we communicate

If you don't here 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 choices you make

Baby they're all demands oh





Bridge:

I tried so very hard

To keep our love alive

But you don't wanna meet me half the 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





(Chorus)





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





Bridge:

I tried so very hard

To keep our love alive

But you don't wanna meet me half the 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





(Chorus)





All I need , All I need

All need is understanding

How ow ow ow

If you don't here what I say

Can't you see baby





Bridge:

I tried so very hard

To keep our love alive

But you don't wanna meet me half the 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





(Chorus)
