George Michael performing "Understand" in Royal Opera House - London - Symphonica Tour - 6.11.2011 "Understand" was included in the limited edition 3-CD version of "Twenty Five" Woman, don't you ever wonder Where you'd be if I just walked on by What's your name? Can I take your number? Darling come with me I'm gonna change your life When you're young you think you're winning Why worry 'til the babies cry? I was wrong; it's the blues we're singing Chasing after pennies just to survive. And there's no way the gods are hearing me baby They don't even try They don't even try And all the things I said I'd give you Just seem to pass me by No matter how I try I hope you understand This is not what I had planned for us God only knows if my dreams are coming or gone (Are coming or gone) But you're still holding my hand Sweetheart (sweetheart) And for every single day that you're here It's crystal clear That God isn't mad at me at all He ain't mad at me at all And all this praying hard ain't gonna save the day Maybe that's really what I'm guilty of I know we live in times when love is not enough It's not enough (no no no no no) And there's no way the gods are hearing me Baby, they don't even try They don't even try So all the things that i thought i could give you Just seem to pass us by (No matter how I try) I hope you understand This is not what I had planned for us Heaven only knows if our dreams are coming or gone (Coming or gone, coming or gone) But you're still holding my hand Sweetheart (Sweetheart) So for every single day that you're here It's crystal clear That God isn't mad at me at all He ain't mad at me at all There's a place in my mind Somewhere we could be fine Where the children would play And we'd eat like kings every day (Some more promises) (like kings on Christmas Day)
