[Intro]
I made you think you don't understand

[Verse 1]
I used to think that happiness could only be something
That happened to somebody else
Everybody believed, everybody but me, yeah, yeah
And I've been hurt so many times before
That my hope was dyin', so sick of tryin'
Everybody could see, everybody but me, yeah, yeah
But then you came into my life, you opened up my softer side
And I could see into your eyes
And suddenly, I realized

[Chorus]
I made you think you don't understand
All the times you didn't understand
Why you couldn't just be my man
I made you think you don't understand
There were many walls you had to climb
If you really wanted to be mine
I made you think you don't understand
After all the hoops I put you through
Now I see that I'm in love with you
Now, I hope you finally understand

[Verse 2]
So many tears I had to cry
But you had many more of your own you had to dry
But you stuck it out and you're here with me now, yeah, yeah
And rememberin' the days I pushed away your love
You called my bluff and you still stayed around
Yeah, you figured me out
Said, you got me down
And there's no way to lie to you, you know me better than I do
Baby, ooh, you see me through
I'd be no good without you

[Chorus]
I made you think you don't understand
All the times you didn't understand
Why you couldn't just be my man
I made you think you don't understand
There were many walls you had to climb
If you really wanted to be mine
I made you think you don't understand
After all the hoops I put you through
Now I see that I'm in love with you
Now, I hope you finally understand
Oh

[Bridge]
Baby, won't you listen now?
Can't you see just what I'm talkin' 'bout?
Said, baby, won't you listen now?
Can't you see just what I'm talking about?
Time went on, and I was wrong
To keep my distance for so long
So afraid, you wouldn't stay
But you never turned away
Always right by my side
You're forever in my life
Don't you go, 'cause now I know
That in you, I've found a home
Now I can see into your eyes
Suddenly, I realize

[Chorus]
I made you think you don't understand
All the times you didn't understand
Why you couldn't just be my man
I made you think you don't understand
There were many walls you had to climb
If you really wanted to be mine
I made you think you don't understand
After all the hoops I put you through
Now I see that I'm in love with you

[Outro]
I made you think you don't understand
