WHY DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND
George Hamilton IV

Why, why don't they understand
Why lead us by the hand
Why don't they understand

Why, why do they smile and say
Love can't be ours today
Why don't they understand

Can it be wrong
Caring for you the way I do
It can't be wrong
Sharing with you
The warmth of love
Of loving, belonging

And so we'll wander hand in hand
Into love's wonderland
Then they will understand

It can't be wrong
Sharing with you
The warmth of love
Of loving, belonging

And so we'll wander hand in hand
Into love's wonderland
Then they will understand
Then they will understand
Then they will understand
