We know each other like the palm of our hands
And we have to see each other
Whenever and however we can

I know that I am tied up
Well listen baby
Well, I am tied up too

And if we are caught together
We`ve got so much to lose
So if you see me tomorrow
And you turn your head, baby
I`ll understand, I`ll understand

Society we`re from
And say it is supposed to be
But there`s a lot of people
Going through the same changes, baby
Just like you and me

But listen
While my sister call me low down, yes she does
And my brother won`t even speak, no he won`t
My daddy don`t want me around
But listen to this my mama sayin`, "Go somewhere else and live"

I know love can be a problem
If you give up tryin`, tryin`, tryin` to solve them
I`ll understand, yes I will baby
I`ll understand

If I see you walking down Main Street with your man
Then I`ll understand
If I call you on the phone and if you have to hang up, baby
I`ll understand

If I see you in the dance and you turned your head
I`ll understand
If you told me to meet you somewhere, baby and you don`t show up
I`ll understand
