(Words & music by Per Gessle & Desmond Child)
Intr:
I ve been up all night, you ve been puttin up a fight.
Seems like nothin I say gets through.
How did this old bed fit a world between me and you.
We said "Goodnight" but the silence was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
We ve hit the wall again and there s nothin I can do.
You re the one, yea, I ve put all my trust in your hands.
C mon and look in my eyes, here I am, here I am
You don t understand me, my baby.
You don t seem to know that I need you so much.
You don t understand me, my feelings, the reason I m breathin , my love
The mornin comes and you re reaching out for me just like everything s the same
and I let myself believe things are gonna change.
When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close, do you wonder who s inside?
Maybe there s no way we could feel each other s pain.
Tell me why it gets harder to know where I stand.
I guess loneliness found a new friend, here I am
You don t understand me...
Solo: (2x)
You don t seem to get me, my baby. You don t really see that I live for your touch.
You don t understand me, my dreams or the things I believe in, my love.
You don t understand me. You don t understand me. Understand me.
