I made you think, you don't understand. I used to think that happiness could only be something To happen to somebody else. Everybody believed, everybody but me, yeah yeah. And I've been hurt so many times before That my hopes was dying, I was so sick of trying. Everybody could see, everybody but me, yeah yeah. But then you came into my life, you opened up my softer side. Now I can see, to your eyes. Suddenly, I realize. I made you think, you don't understand. All the times you didn't understand Why you just couldn't 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 pushed you through Now you see I'm in love with you. Now, I hope you finally understand. So many tears I've had to cry But you had many more of your own. You had to try But you stuck it out and you're here with me now And remember when the days when I pushed away your love You called my beloved and you still stayed around Yeah you figured me out. Said, You got me down. And there's no way I lie to you, you know me better than I do. Baby, ooh, you see me through I'll be good with out you. I made you think, you don't understand.

(ooh) I made you think, you don't understand. After all the hoops I pushed you through, (through) Now you see I'm in love with you. Now, I hope you finally understand. Ohh. Baby, won't you listen now Can't you see what I'm talking about Said baby won't you listen now Can't you see 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 It's not mine, no, It ain't you I found my home. I could see, to your right Suddenly, I realize. I made you think, you don't understand. All the times you didn't understand Why you just couldn't 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 pushed you through Now you see I'm in love with you. Now, I hope you finally understand. I made you think, you don't understand.
