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
