"Understand"
by Christina Aguilera
Album: Back to Basics
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand.
GI used to think that happiness could only be something that happened to somebody
Emelse. Everybody believed--everybody but me!
GAnd I'd been hurt so many times before that my hope was dyin'. So sick of
Emtryin'.  Everybody could see--everybody but me!
GBut then you came into my life. You opened up my softer side and
Emnow I can see inAmto your eyes and F#msuddenly I Brealize
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (All the times you didn't understand why you 
just be my man)
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (There were many walls you had to climb if you 
wanted to be mine)
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (After all the hoops I put you through, now I see 
I'm in love with you)
F#mNow I hope Byou finally undeEmrstand.
GSo many tears I had to cry but you had many more of your own you had to dry. but you
Emstuck it out and you're here with me now.
GAnd remembering the days I'd push away your love, you'd call my bluff and you still stayed
Emaround. Yeah, you figured me out, said you've got me down.
GAnd there's no way to lie to you--you know me better than I do.
EmBaby ooh, you see me Amthrough, I'd be F#mno good without Byou
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (All the times you didn't understand why you 
just be my man)
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (There were many walls you had to climb if you 
wanted to be mine)
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (After all the hoops I put you through, now I see 
I'm in love with you)
F#mNow I hope Byou finally undeEmrstand.
EmBaby won't you listen now? Can't you see just what I'm talking about?
Baby won't you listen now? Can't you see just what I'm talking about?
Time went on and I was wrong to keep my distance for so long.
So afraid you wouldn't stay, but you never turned away.
Always right by my side; you're forever in my life.
Don't you go 'cause now I know that in you I found a home.
EmNow I can see inAmto your eyes and F#msuddenly I Brealize
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (All the times you didn't understand why you 
just be my man)
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (There were many walls you had to climb if you 
wanted to be mine)
F#mI made you Bthink you don't Emunderstand (After all the hoops I put you through, now I see 
I'm in love with you)
F#mNow I hope Byou finally undeEmrstand.
