Understanding Lyrics

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm,
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Mmmm, hmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm,
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.

What I need from you is understanding.
How can we communicate if you don't hear what I say?
(Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.)
What I need from you is understanding.
So simple as 1-2-3.
Understanding is what we need.

You don't really know me.
You just wanna do what you wanna do.
That's not the way it should be, no.
You should listen to me, boy.
(You better listen to me, boy.)
I tried so very hard to make you understand,
But the choices you make, baby, they're all demands.
Oh, oh.

I tried so very hard to keep our love alive,
But you don't wanna meet me halfway.
Then the understanding dies.
There's no way that we can work it out if we don't pull together.
I don't mean to be demanding, but I want some understanding.
I wanna be with you.

What I need from you is understanding.
(Mmmm, hmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.)
How can we communicate if you don't hear what I say?
(Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.)
What I need from you is understanding.
(Mmmm, hmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.)
So simple as 1-2-3. (Yeah, oooh.)
Understanding is what we need.

I listen to you, baby, and I know the things you're going through.
I try to understand.
That's why I'm still with you, baby. (I'm still with you.)
See, every day we're living is one that will always be unsure.
That's why I need you, baby, pleading, baby.
Please let our love endure.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I tried so very hard to keep our love alive,
But you don't wanna meet me halfway.
Then the understanding dies.
And there's no way that we can work it out if we don't pull together.
I don't mean to be demanding, but I want some understanding.
I wanna be with you.

What I need from you (All I need, yeah,) is understanding.
(is understanding.)
How can we communicate if you don't hear what I say?
(If you don't hear what I say)
What I need from you is understanding.
(All I need from you, baby.)
So simple as 1-2-3. (Can't you see, 1-2-3.)
(Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.) Understanding is what we need.

All I need, all I need, all I need is understanding.
How if you don't hear what I say?
Eee, eee, eee, eee.
Can't you see, eh, eh, baby?
Hoo, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

I tried so very hard to keep our love alive,
(Yes I do. Oh, oh, oh, oh.)
But you don't wanna meet me halfway.
Then the understanding dies.
There's no way that we can work it out (No way.)
if we don't pull together.
I don't mean to be demanding, but I want some understanding.
(Oh, oooh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
I wanna be with you. (Ohhh...)
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh...)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
What I need from you is understanding. (Understanding.)
How can we communicate (Now how can we communicate?)
if you don't hear what I say? (Please hear what I say.)
What I need from you (Yeah.) is understanding.
(Come on, baby, come on.)
So simple as 1-2-3. (It's so simple as 1-2-3.)
Understanding is what we need.
What I need from you is understanding. (All I need from you. Oh, oh.)
How can we communicate (How can we communicate?)
