my mama always told me to beware of you
i overunderstand because here you are and you're so
benevolent about the way i stare at you
i overunderstand because here you are and i'm so
full of excitement i'm excited
full of delightful i'm delighted
i wanna keep you just one night, you see
listen to me
my daddy always scolded me in spite of you
i overunderstand because he is here and i'm so... yeah
my attitude is changing into something new
i overunderstand because i am mad at you for
benevolent young thoughts when i refer to you
i underoverstand because i'm in love
my daughter always told me to beware of you
i overunderstand because here you are and you're so
benevolent about the way i look at you
i overunderstand because here you are and i'm so glad.
