Understanding don't come easy

Love's a state of mine

Trying hard just to make it perfect

Try'n'a make life rhyme

Questions only lead to questions

Round and 'round they spin

There's no need to make excuses for

The shape that you're in



You know better than I know

That we'll always feel the same

And you know better than I know

So there's no need to explain



And so it makes no difference

I guess we'll never win

We'll just have to pick ourselves up

And start all over again



I'm consummed by a passion burning

So deep inside

I know that I'll always love you

I couldn't even leave you if I tried

Need you more than ever

You make me complete

You supply me with the danger that

Makes life so sweet



You know better than I know

That we'll always feel the same

And you know better than I know

So there's no need to explain



And if it makes no difference

I guess we'll never win

We'll just have to pick ourselves up

And start all over again



Lying in the darkness

And I just can't get to sleep

Sorting out my thoughts

But I don't know which are the right ones to keep

Thinking of the countries

Where there's nothing left to eat

Counting the starving millions by the thousand

I fall asleep



And if it makes no difference

I guess we'll never win

We'll just have to pick ourselves up

And start all over again



Understanding don't come easy

Love's a state of mine

I know that I'll always love you

I couldn't even leave you if I tried

Need you more than ever

Where do I begin

I've no need to make excuses for

The state that I'm in



You know better than I know

That we'll always feel the same

And you know better than I know

So there's no need to explain



And if it makes no difference

I guess we'll never win

We'll just have to pick ourselves up

And start all over again

Start all over again

Start all over again



You know better than I know

You know better than I know

You know better than I know

You know better than I know
