Lyrics Lyle Lovett

Lyle Lovett

Understand You

What a pretty mystery you

You suddenly turned out to be

I've never held you gently

but I want to

Well, I'll watch your friends come through the door

and I slide my feet across the floor

there are things I might ask

I don't need to

Can't you tell I'm telling you

that I want to

Understand you, oh

Well, I'm sofa sitting, compromising

Thoughts on what I'm realizing

Ask me what I'm thinking

It's hard to say cause the way I'm reeling

it could be most anything

to do with you

Well, can't you tell I'm telling you

that I want to

Understand you, oh

Some things can remain unsaid, now

You don't have to share your bed with me

It's a gentle thing we're making

Got the time for stronger weather

Until we get to know us better

We'll remain suspended

Can't you tell I'm telling you

that I want to

Understand you, oh

Can't you tell I'm telling you

that I want to

Say I love you
