I Just Don't Understand

(album: My Own Peculiar Way - 1969)

I'd be the last one to tell you that you shouldn't go.
And the first to say: "Be happy if you can."
But when you lie an' hurt someone who needs an' loves you so,
Do you mind too much if I don't understand?

I suppose that you're convinced this is the thing to do.
Life is short an' sweet; break all the hearts you can.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised: it's all a game to you.
But do you mind too much if I don't understand?

Forgive me but it all seems so unreal to me.
An' my heart an' me, we'd made so many plans.
But that's all over now, there's nothing left to do.
But do you mind too much if I don't understand?

[Instrumental]

Forgive me but it all seems so unreal to me.
An' my heart an' me, we'd made so many plans.
But that's all over now, there's nothing left to do.
But do you mind too much if I don't understand?
