CAN’T STAND NOT UNDERSTANDING YOU

I…can…

Understand the reasons planets circle round the sun

I learned about the seasons

How they roll by one by one

I’ve read a book or two

For all the learnin’ I have gotten

But when it comes to you

It’s all…

It’s all forgotten

 

I just… can’t… stand

Not understandin’ you

You’re like a force of nature

I’m not accustomed to

The minute you walk in

Ya got me actin’ like a fool

I get confused and I can’t stand

No I…can’t….stand

Not understandin’ you

 

We’ve had a little history

Back in our days at school

You were such a mystery

And me a love sick fool

I learned my lesson then

I’m a little smarter now

You twisted up my heart again

And I don’t…

I really don’t know how

 

I just… can’t… stand

Not understandin’ you

You’re like a force of nature

I’m not accustomed to

The minute you walk in

Ya got me actin’ like a fool

I get confused and I can’t stand

No I…can’t….stand

Not understandin’ you

 

I’ve always tried to stay level headed

And keep my feelings on an even plane

Tryin’ not to do things I regretted

But it’s so hard, I can’t help but go insane

​

I just… can’t… stand

Not understandin’ you

You’re like a force of nature

I’m not accustomed to

The minute you walk in

Ya got me actin’ like a fool

I get confused and I can’t stand

No I…can’t….stand

Not understandin' you
