Understanding is the best thing in the world, Between a boy and a girl Boy and girl and even a woman or a man, It's always better when you really understand You know understanding is a mighty powerful thing, that's why it makes me so sad When I see my friends wandering around through the world, Never knowing the meaning of the word Understanding, so in the next few minutes, I'm gonna Try to explain just exactly what it means Now wait a minute, listen, for instance, you take me And my old lady, we gotta good thing goin' Because I know If I don't work and pay the rent and the Bills and buy her fine pretty clothes to wear well, There are fifteen other guys just waitin' round the Corner, and I don't care how much that woman loves me, She's gonna go out and find herself one of them who Will and that's why I believe that Understanding is the best thing in the world, Between a boy and a girl Boy and girl and even a woman or a man, It's always better when you really understand Now listen I don't want you to think that this is a One sided affair, no no Because my old lady also understands that a man must Have respect What I mean is, if she must play around don't let me Catch her, because what I don't see can't hurt me, you Understand? but on the other hand, If I should ever Catch her I'm not gonna talk about-a And call her a bunch of bad names like you all might No no What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go down-town to the Hardware store and buy myself a double blade axe, Come back, square off, and believe her soul's gonna Belong to the good lord Because her head's gonna belong to me, and I Guarantee she'll know what I mean when I'll say Understanding is the best thing in the world, Between a boy and a girl Boy and girl and even a woman or a man, It's always better when you really understand
