I understand,
And darlin' you are not to blame,
If when we kiss it's not the same
I understand1

It's not your fault,
Because your heart has changed its mind;
You didn't mean to be unkind,
I understand!

Forgetting you will be far from easy,
I've grown so used to your charms.
I miss that old thrill,
And no-one can fill
The place here in my arms.

But if you find
Our love was really meant to be,
Then darlin', hurry back to me
And I'll understand!
(I'll understand)
I'll understand!
