I Understand

Lesley Gore

Compositor: Kim Gannon / Mabel Wayne

I understand, and, darling, you are not to blame
If when we kiss, it's not the same, I understand
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'll 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, darling, hurry home to me, and I'll understand
