So baby, when I'm near you You can't feel me, I'm lightnin' You used to come by And sit down on my side You would come in close And take off all my clothes Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps You end up mad at me for makin' a mess I can't understand Why you don't understand me, baby And every day I wake up and I make money for myself And though we share a bed you know that I don't need your help Do you understand? You don't understand me, baby ♪ All the ivy Is growing sideways You won't stop it Till it covers all my place Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps You end up mad at me for makin' a mess I can't understand Why you don't understand me, baby Every day I wake up and make money for myself And though we share a bed you know that I don't need your help Do you understand? You don't understand me, baby ♪ If I go right And you go left Hey, I know we'll meet up again ♪ And if you go left And I go right Hey, maybe that's just life sometimes ♪ Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps You end up mad at me for makin' a mess I can't understand Why you don't understand me, baby And every day I wake up and make money for myself And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help Do you understand? You don't understand me, baby
