Please Understand Lyrics by Maria Howell

Same Old Story

0

[Verse 1:]
Lookin' back on us, when this love got started
It was simple then, hearts were runnin' free
Being close to you, that was all that mattered
So caught up in your love, I forgot my dream, so I
[Chorus:]
Boy I gotta leave, time to find it on my own
Please understand
It's what I gotta do, it's the best for me and you
Please understand... understand
[Verse 2:]
Boy don't shed one tear, 'cause this love's not over
I'm one minute out doin' what I gotta do
I used to fool myself, I didn't know the cost of dreamin'
So make it easier and say you'll undеrstand...and so...
[Chorus:]
Boy I gotta leave (gonna leavе), time to find it on my own, (oh baby)
Please understand (understand the way I feel)
It's what I gotta do, it's the best for me and you
Please understand
[Bridge:]
I know that I'll
Be missing you
Until we're back together
Here's what I'm gonna do...
I'm gonna write you everyday
Call you on the telephone
Baby it's ok
I won't forget the way back home
Fight those lonely nights
Keepin' happy thoughts of you
Leavin' you is hard, here's what I gotta do...
[Chorus:]
Boy I gotta leave, time to find it on my own, (oh baby)
Please understand (understand the way I feel)
It's what I gotta do, it's the best for me and you
Please understand
Boy I gotta leave, time to find it on my own
Please understand (understand the way I feel)
It's what I gotta do, it's the best for me and you
Please understand
Boy I gotta leave, time to find it on my own
Please understand
It's what I gotta do, it's the best for me and you
Please understand
