Sitting in an armchair
with my head between my hands
I wouldn’t have to feel like this
If you’d only understand. (I feel desperate and I want true understanding.)
Too many misunderstandings
causing such delay
And if it doesn’t work like this
Well, I’ll try another way (the giraffe way)
Oohh-oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oohh-oh, I didn’t understand (I want to understand what we both want.)
Oohh-oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oohh-oh, I didn’t understand
You know that all I wanted
was to be there by your side (I want to feel togetherness.)
And if you didn’t want it
Well, you shouldn’t have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right from the start (It’s easy for me to see you beautiful.)
But if you treat me badly
We’d be better off apart (I want close people to be kind to one another.)
Oohh-oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oohh-oh, I didn’t understand (I want to understand what we both want.)
Oohh-oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oohh-oh, I didn’t understand
