Woke this mornin' with a nasty feeling', I needed you to set my heart a-reelin' Can you understand That when I'm sittin' with the blues, I can have you close to me The magic in your eyes is gonna set me free Be my understandin' woman. So hard to come by always bringin' Sunshine, bringin' sunshine da da da, la la la la Be my understandin' woman So good to have you near me every mornin', every morning. Fast and fleet come so many dreams Feelin' free, livin' life together And so it seems That time's gonna tell us what will happen That's the way we're made to be Eyes can see your lovin' me has set me free Be my understandin' woman. Always smilin' even on through hard times When it's rainin' Gotta make somethin' good of myself, Will you stay right by on and on through hard times? And we know That fame and fortune is no good Not unless we live with love Peace is gonna come to us Be my understandin' woman. Be my understandin' woman. Be my understandin' woman. Be my understandin' woman. It's that smile that you've been keepin', Tells me that you're always carin', And I love you more than words can say I do I do.
