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)
