The Steps - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

So baby

When I'm near you

You can't feel me

I'm lightnin'

You used to come by

And sit down by my side

You would come in close

And take off all my clothes

Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps

You end up mad at me for makin' a mess

I can't understand

Why you don't understand me, baby

And every day I wake up and I make money for myself

And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help

Do you understand?

You don't understand me, baby

All the ivy

Is growing sideways

You won't stop it

'Til it covers all of our place

Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps

You end up mad at me for makin' a mess

I can't understand

Why you don't understand me, baby

And every day I wake up and I make money for myself

And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help

Do you understand?

You don't understand me, baby

If I go right and you go left

Hey, I know we'll meet up again

And if you go left and I go right

Hey, maybe that's just life sometimes

Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps

You end up mad at me for makin' a mess

I can't understand

Why you don't understand me, baby

And every day I wake up and I make money for myself

And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help

Do you understand?

You don't understand me, baby
