美國女子團體［逃脫］乘勝追擊之作──R&B抒情曲──［Understanding／理解］

What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you dont hear what I say.
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need.
You dont really know me,
You just wanna do what you wanna do.
Thats not the way it should be,
No, you should listen to me boy.
I try so very hard to make you understand,
But the choices you make, baby theyre all demands.
I try so very hard to keep our love alive,
But you dont wanna meet me half way,
Then the understanding dies.
Theres no way that we can work it out,
If we dont pull together.
I dont mean to be demanding,
But I want some understanding,
I want to be with you.
What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you dont hear what I say.
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need.
I listen to you baby,
And I know the things youre going through.
I try to understand,
Thats why Im still here with you, baby.
See everyday were living,
Is one thing that will always be unsure.
Thats why I need you baby, pleading baby,
Please let our love endure.
I try so very hard to keep our love alive,
But you dont wanna meet me half way,

Then the understanding dies.
Theres no way that we can work it out,
If we dont pull together.
I dont mean to be demanding,
But I want some understanding,
I want to be with you.
What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you dont hear what I say.
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need.

I try so very hard to keep our love alive,
But you dont wanna meet me half way,
Then the understanding dies.
Theres no way that we can work it out,
If we dont pull together.
I dont mean to be demanding,
But I want some understanding,
I want to be with you.
What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you dont hear what I say.
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need.
What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you dont hear what I say.
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need.
