Understand Me

Trey Songz · Other Songs - Trey Songz

[Karina Pasian:]

Oh lately I've been feelin so alone

So crazy, sometimes I wonder how I'll go on

And as the time fades away so does the smile that's on my face

I get so nervous start to thinkin don't nobody ever

understand me ya feel me?



[Trey Songz:]

I feel you.

So talk to your mother, daddy (sometimes they just don't understand me)

Well how bout your sisters,

brothers? (you know sometimes they just don't get you)

Talk to your girl friends,

boyfriends (sometimes they just don't understand me)

Got the world on my shoulders but I'm doing the best I can I can

(Girl I understand)



[Karina Pasian:]

How it feels to be the main attraction

(people pullin you left people pullin you right)

I'm being pulled in a million directions

(It's so hard standing here in the spotlight)

Sometimes the safest place I know

(sittin at the piano with the microphone)

Doin the thing I love away from everyone



[Trey Songz:]

I feel you.

So talk to your mother, daddy (sometimes they just don't understand me)

Well how bout your sisters,

brothers? (you know sometimes they just don't get you)

Talk to your girl friends,

boyfriends (sometimes they just don't understand me)

Got the world on my shoulders but I'm doing the best I can I can

(Girl I understand)



I know it can seem like no one cares but don't pay them any mind

You a star so baby go on and shine



[Karina Pasian:]

But what if they be hatin on me?

(Just shine)

Making fun of what I'm tryin to be

(Just shine)

What if they're to blind to see

(shine!)

That I'm only tryin to be me



[Trey Songz:]

I feel you.

So talk to your mother, daddy (sometimes they just don't understand me)

Well how bout your sisters,

brothers? (you know sometimes they just don't get you)

Talk to your girl friends,

boyfriends (sometimes they just don't understand me)

Got the world on my shoulders but I'm doing the best I can I can

(Girl I understand)
