IF I DON'T UNDERSTAND
(Willie Nelson)

Willie Nelson


I'd be the last one to tell that you shouldn't go,
And the first to say, "Be happy if you can!"
But when you lie and hurt someone who needs and loves you so,
Do you mind too much if I don't understand?

I suppose that you're convinced this is the thing to do,
Life is short and sweet, break all the hearts you can!
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it's all a game to you,
But do you mind too much if I don't understand?

Forgive me, but it all seems so unreal to me,
And my heart and me, we'd made so many plans!
But that's all over now, there's nothin' left to do;
But do you mind too much if I don't understand?

Forgive me, but it all seems so unreal to me,
And my heart and me, we'd made so many plans!
But that's all over now, there's nothin' left to do;
But do you mind too much if I don't understand?
