Michael Mcdonald Searchin' For Understanding Lyrics

So long ago that you can hardly remember
So far away but not so out of mind
You say you're waiting to be forgiven
Whose problem is it after all this time?

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes
I know in my heart, I'd never do that to you
It's time to decide if I still wanna try
If love's gonna last, there's one thing I got to find

I'm searchin' for understanding
I'm searchin' for understanding

I'm sorry that my feelings is still so tender
The things they make me do and make me say
I know in time all things get better
But 'til then this may be the price you have to pay

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes
I know in my heart, I'd never do that to you
It's time to decide what we're gonna do If love's gonna last, there's something I need from you, baby

I'm searchin' for understanding
I'm searchin' for understanding
I'm searchin' for understanding

So easily trust can be broken
Not so when a heart's got to mend
Your love was the one thing I believed in
Darling, can it ever be the same again?

I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm searchin'
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
I'm looking, I'm searching for understanding

I'm hoping, I'm waiting
I'm looking, I'm searching for understanding
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
I'm looking, I'm searchin' for understanding

I'm hoping, I'm waiting
I'm looking, I'm searchin' for understanding
Waiting, I'm waiting
