The Soul Children - I'll Understand lyrics

We know each other like the palm of our hands And we have to see each other Whenever and however we can I know that I am tied up Well listen baby Well, I am tied up too And if we are caught together We've got so much to lose So if you see me tomorrow And you turn your head, baby I'll understand, I'll understand Society we're from And say it is supposed to be But there's a lot of people Going through the same changes, baby Just like you and me But listen While my sister call me low down, yes she does And my brother won't even speak, no he won't My daddy don't want me around But listen to this my mama sayin', "Go somewhere else and live" I know love can be a problem If you give up tryin', tryin', tryin' to solve them I'll understand, yes I will baby I'll understand If I see you walking down Main Street with your man Then I'll understand If I call you on the phone and if you have to hang up, baby I'll understand If I see you in the dance and you turned your head I'll understand If you told me to meet you somewhere, baby and you don't show up I'll understand
