So baby, when I'm near you
You can't feel me, I'm lightnin'
You used to come by
And sit down by my side
You would come in close
And take off all my clothes
Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps
You end up mad at me for makin' a mess
I can't understand why you don't understand me
Baby
And every day I wake up and I make money for myself
And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help
Do you understand?
You don't understand me
Baby
All the ivy
Is growing sideways
You won't stop it
'Til it covers all my place
Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps
You end up mad at me for makin' a mess
I can't understand why you don't understand me
Baby
And every day I wake up and make money for myself
And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help
Do you understand?
You don't understand me
Baby
If I go right
And you go left
Hey, I know we'll meet up again
And if you go left
And I go right
Hey, maybe that's just life sometimes
Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps
You end up mad at me for makin' a mess
I can't understand why you don't understand me
Baby
And every day I wake up and make money for myself
And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help
Do you understand?
You don't understand me
Baby
