Understanding

Week Of: 2008-01-13
Song: Understanding
Artist: Xscape
Album: Hummin' Comin' At Cha'

After three weeks of guys, I figured it was time to choose a girl group to spotlight in the song of the week. In our last series of song of the week, we chose Xscape - Arms of the One Who Loves You. However, for this time, I thought we'd change things up with "Understanding" from Xscape's debut Hummin Comin At Cha. The track put these girls on the map and really showcases some solid vocals. An awesome song!
[Chorus]
What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you don't hear what I say,
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need

[Verse 1]
(Tiny)
You don't really know me,
You just wanna do what you wanna do
That's not the way it should be,
No,you should listen to me boy
I try so very hard to make you understand,
But the choices you make,baby they're all demands

[Bridge]
(Kandi)
I try so very hard to keep our love alive,
But you don't wanna meet me half way,
Then the understanding dies

(Tamika)
There's no way that we can work it out,
If we don't pull together
I don't mean to be demanding,
But I want some understanding,
I want to be with you

[Chorus]
What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you don't hear what I say,
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need

[Verse 2]
(Latocha)
I listen to you baby,
And I know the things you're going through
I try to understand,
That's why I'm still with you,baby
See everyday we're living,
Is one thing that will always be unsure
That's why I need you baby,pleading baby,
Please let our love endure

[Bridge]
(Kandi)
I try so very hard to keep our love alive,
But you don't wanna meet me half way,
Then the understanding dies

(Tamika)
There's no way that we can work it out,
If we don't pull together
I don't mean to be demanding,
But I want some understanding,
I want to be with you

[Chorus]
What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you don't hear what I say,
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need

[Repeat bridge, chorus]

[Chorus]
What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you don't hear what I say,
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need
