Generate meaning
1
Understanding is the best thing in the world,
2
Between a boy and a girl
3
Boy and girl and even a woman or a man,
4
It's always better when you really understand
5
You know understanding is a mighty powerful thing,
6
that's why it makes me so sad
7
When I see my friends wandering around through the world,
8
Never knowing the meaning of the word
9
Understanding, so in the next few minutes, I'm gonna
10
Try to explain just exactly what it means
11
Now wait a minute, listen, for instance, you take me
12
And my old lady, we gotta good thing goin'
13
Because I know If I don't work and pay the rent and the
14
Bills and buy her fine pretty clothes to wear well,
15
There are fifteen other guys just waitin' round the
16
Corner, and I don't care how much that woman loves me,
17
She's gonna go out and find herself one of them who
18
Will and that's why I believe that
19
Understanding is the best thing in the world,
20
Between a boy and a girl
21
Boy and girl and even a woman or a man,
22
It's always better when you really understand
23
Now listen I don't want you to think that this is a
24
One sided affair, no no
25
Because my old lady also understands that a man must
26
Have respect
27
What I mean is, if she must play around don't let me
28
Catch her, because what I don't see can't hurt me, you
29
Understand? but on the other hand, If I should ever
30
Catch her I'm not gonna talk about-a
31
And call her a bunch of bad names like you all might
32
No no
33
What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go down-town to the
34
Hardware store and buy myself a double blade axe,
35
Come back, square off, and believe her soul's gonna
36
Belong to the good lord
37
Because her head's gonna belong to me, and I
38
Guarantee she'll know what I mean when I'll say
39
Understanding is the best thing in the world,
40
Between a boy and a girl
41
Boy and girl and even a woman or a man,
42
It's always better when you really understand
