An Understanding

Looked at your photograph

Lord it used to make me laugh

Now I feel like cryin' instead

Sleepin' in an empty bed

Don't bother me all of the time

Just every day, most of the night

It's an understandin'



Never think life could be this way

All the give, take away

Though I know, this I'll tell

Always see ya later, fare thee well

Don't bother me all of the time

Just every day, most of the night

It's an understandin'



We thought we'd be happy together

Now I'm a used to be, an afterthought, whatever

I'm beginning to think about you the same way too



I never was an ex anything

Do what I do, sing what I sing

Now I see I surely am

Same old story, woman and a man

Don't bother me all of the time

Just every day, most of the night

It's an understandin'



We thought we'd be happy together

Now I'm a used to be, an afterthought, whatever

I'm beginning to think about you the same way too



Gettin hard to think about

Fall in love, then you're out

Hard to be anything but mad

But you're still a mom, still a dad

Don't bother me all of the time

Just every day, most of the night

It's an understandin'



Looked at your photograph

Lord it used to make me laugh

Now I feel like cryin' instead

Sleepin' in an empty bed

Don't bother me all the time

Just every day, most of the night

It's an understandin'
