Lyrics

I’ll Never Understand

I’ll never understand how a woman and a man can be so much not the same
I’ll never understand why we run inside and hide from a warm summer rain
I’ll never understand how I broke your heart
I’ll never understand the pain
I’ll never understand why we’re not together

I’ll never understand why I jumped into a barrel of trouble up to my neck
I’ll never understand why I couldn’t think, I should have been so much more circumspect
I’ll never understand why I was so thick
I’ll never understand what made me tick
I’ll never understand why we’re not together

Why the rich get richer and the good die young
Why he got a million dollars for that stupid song
Why women keep working on the bottom wrung
Why the bosses and the bankers are so goddamn dumb

I’ll never understand how the story started that got me in this awful mess
I’ll never understand why I didn’t leave when she started to undress
I’ll never understand why I didn’t run
I’ll never understand why I was so numb
I’ll never understand why we’re not together
