I Understand

McMaster & James

Here I am alone again tonight 
Talking to myself again 
Lately I've been seeing less of you 
What's a man to do 

I understand that you've been busy 
Understand it's not much time
You're always got the best intention
Every single time, oh, yeah

And as the hours of the night roll by 
Just like your alibis, I stop and think (stop and think)
It's not like I don't really know you well
Sometimes I think I know you better (then you know myself) 

I understand that it's been crazy
And you can't be by my side
And you've got the perfect explanation 
Every single time, baby
Every single time, I understand
I understand, oh…
I understand, oh, baby 
And now I understand
And I understand, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

If absence makes the heart grow 
Fonder, why do I grow stronger in my resolve 
Every day I notice I'm becoming someone 
Someone who understands 
Oh, baby, and I understand

I understand you really miss me 
And you can't be by my side 
You always got the best excuses 
You're such a creative girl 
You always seem to keep me waiting, oh, baby
Now I really understand 
That I'm the one who should be changing 
And I will never ever wait again, wait again, wait again

I understand (but you just don't care)
I understand (but you just don't care)
I understand (but you just don't care)
I used to think you really loved me 
Now I know that you just don't care 
You just don't care, I understand, baby, no
Someone when I'm living, I hope you understand
