Understand
(C. Aguilera/ Kara DioGuardi/ Kwame Holland/ Allen Toussaint)

(I made you think
You don`t understand)

I used to think that happiness
Could only be something that happened to somebody else
Everybody believed
Everybody but me
yeah yea
And I`ve been hurt so many times before
That my hope was dyin`
So sick of tryin`
Everybody could see
Everybody but me
yea yeah
But then you came into my life
You opened up my softer side,yea
And I could see into your eyes
And suddenly I realized

(I) I (made you think) made you think
You don`t understand
All the times you didn`t understand,ooh
Why you couldn`t just be my man, oh yea
(I) I (made you think) made you think
You don`t understand
There were many walls you had to climb
If you really wanted to be mine
(I) I (made you think) made you think
You don`t understand
After all the hoops I put you through
Now I see that I`m in love with you
Now I hope you
Finally understand

So many tears I had to cry
But you had many more of your own
You`ve had to dry
But you stuck it out
And you here with me now, yea yeah
And rememberin`the days I pushed away
Your love you called my bluff
And you still stayed around
Yeah you figured me out
Said you got me down
And there`s no way to lie to you
You know me better than I do
Baby ooh
You see me through
I`d be no good
Without you

Baby won`t you listen now
Can`t you see just what I`m talkin`�about
Baby won`t you listen now
Can`t you see just what I`m talkin`about
Time went on and I was wrong
To keep my distance for so long
So afraid you wouldn`t stay
But you never turned away
Always right by my side
You`re forever in my life
Don`t you go cause now I know
That in you I`ve found a home
And I could see into your eyes
And suddenly I realized
