I've been Cup all night, You've been puDtting up a fight
Seems like noEmthing I say gets thCrough
How did tChis bed fit a woDrld between me and yEmou

You could cEmut it with a kniCfe
We've Chit a wall again and there's noDthing I can doEm

C'mon loFok in my eyCes here I aGmm   Fhere I aEbm
[Chorus]
You don't underBbstand me  Cmy bDmaby
CYou don't seem to kBbnow that I Cneed you so muDmch
CYou don't underBbstand me, my feeClings
The reDmason I'm breaBbthing my lEbove
[Verse]
The morCnin' comes and you're reaDching out for me
Just like Emeverything's the saCme
And I lCet myself believDe things are gonna chEmange.
When you kCiss my mouth and you hDold my body close,
Do you woEmnder who's insCide?
Maybe thCere's no way we could fDeel each other's paEmin.
