I'll Understand Lyrics - Singles - Soul Children

We know each other like the palm of our hands 

And we have to see each other 

Whenever and however we can 

I know that I am tied up 

Well listen baby 

Well, I am tied up too 

And if we are caught together 

We've got so much to lose 

So if you see me tomorrow 

And you turn your head, baby 

I'll understand, I'll understand 

Society we're from 

And say it is supposed to be 

But there's a lot of people 

Going through the same changes, baby 

Just like you and me 

But listen 

While my sister call me low down, yes she does 

And my brother won't even speak, no he won't 

My daddy don't want me around 

But listen to this my mama sayin', "Go somewhere else and live" 

I know love can be a problem 

If you give up tryin', tryin', tryin' to solve them 

I'll understand, yes I will baby 

I'll understand 

If I see you walking down Main Street with your man 

Then I'll understand 

If I call you on the phone and if you have to hang up, baby 

I'll understand 

If I see you in the dance and you turned your head 

I'll understand 

If you told me to meet you somewhere, baby and you don't show up 

I'll understand
