Song title: Ray Charles - Understanding

Edit By: 216.73.217.74

*  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 )
