Understanding Ray Charles

[Chorus]
Understanding is the best thing in the world
Between a boy and a girl
Boy and girl and even a woman or a man
(It's always better when you really understand, oh)

[Verse 1]
You know, understanding is a mighty powerful thing
That's why it makes me so sad
When I see my friends wandering around through the world
Never knowing the meaning of the word understanding
So in the next few minutes, I'm going to try to explain just exactly what it means

Now wait a minute, listen, for instance, you take me and my old lady
We got to good thing going
Because I know If I don't work and pay the rent and the
Bills and buy her fine pretty clothes to wear, well
There are fifteen other guys just waiting round the corner

And I don't care how much that woman loves me
She's going to go out and find herself one of them who will
And that's why I believe that

[Chorus]
Understanding is the best thing in the world
Yes it is (Between a boy and a girl)
Boy and girl and even a woman or a man
(It's always better when you really understand, oh)
