• Make me Understand
    You’re only a few inches near,
    Yet you feel so far away.
    If only I told you the truth,
    I wonder what you will say.
    Please make me understand!
    I claim to feel your heart,
    You think I’m your lily of the valley,
    And you think I’m your grey eyed beauty,
    Why don’t you see I’m not?
    Please make me understand!
    What you tell me is all gibberish,
    I can’t understand a word you say,
    You smile like you think I understand,
    But I don’t speak your way.
    Please make me understand!
    Your way of words seem beautiful,
    And you seem very happy about it,
    But you mind as well give me,
    A yellow carnation to end it.
    Please make me understand!
    But you know what? I won’t give up!
    Just give me an oak leaf, and I’ll be okay!
    I’m going to do this, try my best!
    I won’t give up on learning to speak your way.
