I'll put my hair, back behind my ears Out of myeyes, I won't leave a strand So you can watch the running of mytears And you can try to understand You sit on the bed just crying And I stand staring into space Honey it's not for the lack of trying But I just cannot see your face So I'll put my hair back behind my ears Out of my eyes, I won't leave a strand So you can watch the running of my tears And you can try to understand I don't need a scarlet ribbon I don't need no Alice band All I need are your sweet fingers Running through my hair, and wrapped around my hand So put your hair back behind your ears Out of your eyes, don't leave a strand And I will watch the running of your tears And I will try to understand Yes I will try to understand
