I Just Don't Understand

Beatles · Live at the BBC

Well you call me your baby
when you're holding my hand,
But the way that you hurt me
I just don't understand.

Well you say that you need me
like an ocean needs sand.
But the way you deceive me
I just don't understand.

Well you know that I love you
more than anyone can.
But a one sided love
I just don't understand.

Well you know that I love you
more than anyone can.
But a one sided love
I just don't understand.

Well you call me your baby
when you're holding my hand,
Oh how you can hurt me
I just can't understand.
