Låttexter: Christina Aguilera. Back to Basics. Understanding.

Title is 'Understand', not 'Understanding'.

I may do things you don't understand...

I used to think that happiness could only be something that happened to somebody else
Everybody believed, everybody but me, yeah yeah
And I've been hurt so many times before
That my hope was dying
So sick of trying
Everybody could see, everybody but me, yeah yeah
But then you came into my life
You opened up my softer side
And I can see into your eyes
And suddenly I realise

Chorus:

(I) I (Made you think) Made you think (You don't understand)
All the times you didn't understand
Why you couldn't just be my man
(I) I (Made you think) I made you think (You don't understand)
There were many walls you had to climb
If you really wanted to be mine
(I) I (Made you think) Made you think (You don't understand)
After all the hoops I put you through
Now I see that I'm in love with you
Now I hope you finally understand

So many tears I had to cry
But you had many more of your own you had to dry
But you stuck it out and you're here with me now, yeah yeah
And remember in the days I pushed away your love
You caught my bluff and you still stayed around
Yeah you figured me out
Said you got me down

And there's no way I'd lie to you

You know me better than I do
Baby ooh
You see me through
I'd be no good
Without you

Chorus

Bridge:

Baby won't you listen now
Can't you see just what I'm talking 'bout
Said baby won't you listen now
Can't you see just what I'm talking 'bout

Time went on
And I was wrong
To keep my distance for so long
So afraid
You wouldn't stay
But you never turned away
Yeah

Always strong
By my side
You're forever in my life
Don't you go
Coz now I know
That in you I found a home

And I can see into your eyes
And suddenly I realise

Chorus
