He'd drive a mint green van and watch the Mexicans scatter Be the first to admit he thought it was funny as hell Now he's taken to flippin' off hippies at the river Yeah, I never really liked him but I would never tell Then again, I never did understand me But then again, I never did understand me I have bitten my tongue 'til I can taste the blood And I scream 'uncle' when you twist my arm I could say I was just too young But I haven't yet learned to trust my bleeding heart But then again, I never did understand me But then again, I never did understand me And just to keep the peace and quiet I'd forfeit my peace of mind Then again, I never did understand me Come for me and I'll be your canary And stay 'til then end when it's bad for my health Yeah, I can can forgive every Tom, Dick, or Harry But when it comes down to me I can't forgive myself But then again, I never did understand me But then again, I never did understand me Just to keep the peace and quiet I'd forfeit my peace of mind Then again, I never did understand me I lift myself up for you to wear me down And I do it every day as crazy as it seems It's such a little thing like when I catch my reflection I think, 'Girl don't you know you shouldn't wear those jeans?' But then again, I never did understand me But then again, I never did understand me And just to keep the peace and quiet I'd forfeit my peace of mind Then again, I never did understand... But then again, I never did understand... But then again, I never did understand me But then again, I never did understand me
