I Can Understand Songtext
von Bobby Womack

You know everybody works out of their own band
Can you understand that?
I can understand that

(I can understand it)
Something sweet and a candy bar (baby, I can understand it)
That girl in me
That′s what you are (oh, I)
I can understand it

Jack and Jill (I can understand it)
Going up the hill (baby, I can understand it)
Storybooks and fairytales (oh, I)
I know you can understand it (I can understand it)

But if our love gets to be anything but this
And I stop wanting to feel your sweet, warm and tender kiss
Tell me how
(Could I ever understand it)
Could you expect me to understand it, baby?
Yeah


(Can you understand that?)
(I understand)

(Come on)
(I can understand it)
Something cool but not too cold (baby, I can understand it)
Girl, you gotta give to get, you know (oh, I)
I can understand it

And I try my best (I can understand it)
To make you happy (baby, I can understand it)
And I wake up early one morning and find you packing (oh, I)
No, no, no, no, no
I know I can't understand it (I can′t understand it)

I know sometimes you wanna get away from home
But I get upset when you stay too long
I know, I know, I know, I know (could I ever understand it)
Yeah

(Can you understand that?)
(I understand)

(Well)
(Well, well, well)


(I can understand it)
Oh, I can understand it (baby, I can understand it)
Ooh, I can understand it (oh, I)
(I can understand it)
I have no choice about the situation
(Tell 'em why)

Well, I try my best (I can understand it)
To make you happy (baby, I can understand it)
And I wake up early one morning and find you packing (oh, I)
No, no, no, no, no, no
You can't make me understand it (I can′t understand it)

I get a job and work all the time
And when I get home you better put it on the line
Your love (could I ever understand)

(I can understand it)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I can understand it)
(I can understand it)
Baby, I can understand (baby, I can understand it)
(Say it one more time)

Everybody′s got a way (I can understand it)
Everybody's got a way
Of doing their thing (baby, I can understand it)
You do yours (I can understand it)
Let me do mine (baby, I can understand it)

Can you understand it? (I can understand it)
Can you understand it? (baby, I can understand it)

(I can understand it)
(Baby, I can understand it)
(I can understand it)
(Baby, I can understand it)

Baby
Baby
You see I love you
Place no one else above you
I love you, baby
I place no one else above you

You see, can you understand it?
I wanna know, can you understand it?

(I can understand it)
(Baby, I can understand it)
(I can understand it)
Wait, it′s all right (baby, I can understand it)
Wait, it's all right
I don′t care
Long as you don't try to hold me back
Can you understand that, yeah?
And look here

You wear your hair long, baby
I wear my hair short
Talk that talk
Can you understand that, yeah?
Can you understand it?

I don′t put down a man
With a better hand
'Cause I know I'm doing
The very best I can

(Can you understand that?)

Now, now, I wonder would y′all mind if I, if I, if I played my guitar for just a few bars?
Can you understand that?

See, I got my way of playing my guitar
Can you understand it?
Can you understand it?
Oh, yeah

Oh, baby
We got the
We got the
She′s got the
She's got the
She′s got the understanding
Understanding
