Understanding Lyrics - Ray Charles

* Understanding is the best thing in the world, 

between a boy and a girl 

boy and girl and even a woman or a man, its always 

better when you realy understand 

1) You know Understanding is a mighty powerful thing, 

thats why it makes me so sad 

when I see my friends wandering aroung thru the world 

, never knowing the meaning of the word 

Understanding, so in the next few minutes, Im gonna 

try to explain just exactly what it means 

now wait a minute, listen, for instance, you take me 

and my old lady, we gotta good thing goin 

because I know If I dont work and pay the rent and the 

bills and buy her fine pretty clothes to wear well, 

there are fifteen other guys just waitin round the 

corner, and I dont care how much that woman loves me 

, she? gonna go out and find herself one of them who 

will and thats why I believe that 

* repeat 

2) Now listen I dont want you to think that this is a 

one sided affair, no no 

because my old lady also understands that a man must 

have respect 

what I mean is, if she must play around dont let me 

catch her, because what I dont see cant hurt me, you 

understand? but on the other hand, If I should ever 

catch her Im not gonna talk about-a 

and call her a bunch of bad names like you all might 

no no mh 

what Im gonna do, Im gonna go down-town to the 

hardware store and buy myself a double blade axe, 

come back, square off, and believe her soul? gonna 

belong to the good lord 

because her head? gonna belong to me, and I 

guarantie she? l know what I mean when Ill say 

* repeat several times ... (FADE)
