Lyrics

I Just Don't Understand

Well, you call me your baby when you're holding my hand

But the way that you hurt me, I just don't understand

Well, you say that you need me like an ocean needs sand

But the way you mistreat me, I just don't understand

Well you know that I love you more than anyone can

But a one-sided love I just don't understand

(Hmmm hmmm ah ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Well you know that I love you more than anyone can

But a one-sided love I just don't understand

Well you call me your baby and you're holding my hand

Oh honey, you hurt me and you don't understand

You just don't understand, you just don't understand

You just don't, don't, don't, don't, don't

Hmmm hmmm hmmm, hmmm hmmm hmmm, hmmm hmmm hmmm, hmmm hmmm hmmm
