I Understand Lyrics - It's My Party - Lesley Gore

Why do you go on pretending 

You know you want to be free 

Darling, you know I'll let you go 

You'd do the same for me 

I understand 

And darling, you are not to blame 

If when we kiss it's not the same 

I understand 

It's not your fault because your heart has changed it's mind 

You didn't mean to be unkind 

I understand 

Forgetting you will be far from easy 

I've grown so used to your charms 

I'll miss that old thrill and no one can fill 

The place here in my arms 

But if you find our love was really meant to be 

Then darling, hurry back to me 

And I'll understand 

I understand 

And darling, you are not to blame 

If when we kiss it's not the same 

I understand. 

It's not your fault because your heart has changed it's mind 

You didn't mean to be unkind 

I understand 

Forgetting you will be far from easy 

I've grown so used to your charms 

I'll miss that old thrill and no one can fill 

The place here in my arms 

But if you find our love was really meant to be 

Then darling, hurry back to me
