Baby, I understand why
Maybe you don't think I know
I see the strain in your eyes
I feel the pain when you cry
Every night, but there is light
Tonight, tonight
Girl, I know that we have made it hard
For you to trust a man
And why should you give your all
For a man to hurt you again
Please forgive me for what we have done
When we were once your sons
I know that you still love us
But we must earn your trust
And baby
Baby, I understand why
Maybe you don't think I know
I see the strain in your eyes
I feel the pain when you cry
Every night, but there is light
Tonight, tonight
Baby, when we can learn to commit
To just once queen
Raise our kids and learn to settle down
Oh, the joy it would bring
Girl, I know that I never really tried
But I will, because I'm willing
Oh yeah yeah
Baby, I understand why
Maybe you don't think I know
I see the strain in your eyes
I feel the pain when you cry
Every night, but there is light
Tonight, tonight
Baby, I understand why
Maybe you don't think I know
I see the strain in your eyes
I feel the pain when you cry
Every night, but there is light
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, ooh yeah, baby
Tonight, there is light tonight
