I Understand Lyrics by Dwele

W.ants W.orld W.omen

2010

[Verse 1]
I understand that as a man I would never understand you
I can't understand how you let a man right out command you
And I'm not just speaking from Salt Lake City, 'cause that man ain't me
When clearly it should be, I'm just saying
I know you understand from past circumstances you lose
You do understand by me interjecting I'm breaking all types of man rules
And I understand I don't wear his shoes, but I hate seeing you blue
You know that I'm here for you when he don't give a fuck about you, yeah

[Chorus]
I would lie, would cry, would die for you (Oh, I would)
I just want to understand you
I would lie, would cry, would die for you (Oh yeah)
I just want to understand you
I...

[Verse 2]
I understand that leaving him might create a broken man
But I understand sometimes better a broken man than his broken hand
I understand that I'll never understand what you going through
But I understand sometimes you just need someone to talk to
I understand sometimes we will lose our way
But I understand tomorrow comes a better day
And I understand you need someone to be your confidant
Well, I'm right here, just lay it down

[Chorus]
Oh, I would lie, would cry, would die for you (For you, oh)
I just want to understand you
Oh, I would lie, would cry, would die for you
I just want to understand you
I would lie, would cry, would die for you (Yeah)
I just want to understand you (Understand me, baby)
I would lie, would cry, would die for you (All I ever need)
I just want to understand you
I...

[Outro]
I understand (I understand you), it's okay (Oh)
It's alright (Yeah), it's okay (It's okay)
I understand (Oh, I understand, baby), it's okay (Ooh, ooh)
It's alright (Yeah), it's okay (Yeah, yeah)
I understand, it's okay (You know it's, oh)
It's alright (It's gon' be alright, it's gon' be alright)
