Lyrics Shirley Bassey

Shirley Bassey

If You Don't Understand

He can be the biggest heel

that human nature has invented

But I'd never change him if I could

And whenever he's away from me

I nearly go demented

I'd leave him if I could

He's the face upon the pillow

That I always want to turn to

But I never know how long he'll stay

You may ask me why I choosed to live this way

Well, I'm a woman

If you don't understand

You've never known a love that was real

You've never known the way that I feel

Each time he leaves me

If You don't understand

You've never known impossible dreams

You've never known the hell

that it means to be

Missing him

Wanting him

He can take me to the moon

each time he puts his arms

around me

Only he can take the moon away

And if I regret the day this

wayward lover ever found me

He can smile and I surrender

But I couldn't live without him

He's the loosing game I always play

You may ask me why I choosed to live this way

Well, I'm a woman

If you don't understand

You've never known a love that was real

You've never known the way that I feel

Each time he leaves me

If You don't understand

You've never known impossible dreams

You've never known the hell

that it means to be

Missing him

Wanting him

If you don't understand

You've never known a love that was real

You've never known the way that I feel

Each time he leaves me

If You don't understand

You've never known impossible dreams

You've never known the hell

that it means to be

Missing him

Wanting him
