xscape - understanding lyrics

[chorus:]
what i need from you is understanding,
how can we communicate,
if you don't hear what i say.
what i need from you is understanding,
so simple as 1-2-3,
understanding is what we need.

[verse one (tiny):]
you don't really know me,
you just wanna do what you wanna do.
that's not the way it should be,
no, you should listen to me boy.
i try so very hard to make you understand,
but the choices you make, baby they're all demands.

[break:]
[kandi]
i try so very hard to keep our love alive,
but you don't wanna meet me half way,
then the understanding dies.
[tamika]
there's no way that we can work it out,
if we don't pull together.
i don't mean to be demanding,
but i want some understanding,
i want to be with you.

[repeat chorus]

[verse two (latocha):]
i listen to you baby,
and i know the things you're going through.
i try to understand,
that's why i'm still here with you, baby.
see everyday we're living,
is one thing that will always be unsure.
that's why i need you baby, pleading baby,
please let our love endure.

[repeat break & chorus (x2)]

[repeat chorus to fade]
