If You Don't Understand

(album: I Am What I Am - 1984)

He can be the biggest heel
that human nature has invented
But I'd never change him if I could
And whenever he's away from me
I nearly go demented
I'd leave him if I could

He's the face upon the pillow
That I always want to turn to
But I never know how long he'll stay
You may ask me why I choosed to live this way
Well, I'm a woman

If you don't understand
You've never known a love that was real
You've never known the way that I feel

Each time he leaves me
If You don't understand
You've never known impossible dreams
You've never known the hell
that it means to be

Missing him
Wanting him

He can take me to the moon
each time he puts his arms
around me
Only he can take the moon away
And if I regret the day this
wayward lover ever found me
He can smile and I surrender
But I couldn't live without him
He's the loosing game I always play
You may ask me why I choosed to live this way
Well, I'm a woman

If you don't understand
You've never known a love that was real
You've never known the way that I feel

Each time he leaves me
If You don't understand
You've never known impossible dreams
You've never known the hell
that it means to be

Missing him
Wanting him

If you don't understand
You've never known a love that was real
You've never known the way that I feel

Each time he leaves me

If You don't understand
You've never known impossible dreams
You've never known the hell
that it means to be

Missing him
Wanting him
