I always thought I understood girls. Until I realised one day that I didn't. I think that sometimes it's difficult for men and women to understand each other. We see many things differently. Though normally imperceptible, these differences can precipitate conflicts that invariably occur in relationships. Successful relationships entail the understanding that is needed to compromise over these differences when disagreements arise. This song represents my attempt to understand a minute fraction of these differences.
I Understand Steven Xu
I Understand
I know that I'm useless; I know I'm a jerk
I tried to cook some pasta, but the oven would not work
Sorry that I was no help in finding shoes you like
Girl, I just had to leave and play some CounterStrike
I dress like I'm a bogan, no matter what you say
I forgot the plans that we made for Valentines Day
I show up late to all our dates - does it attract your scorn
That I stay at home, playing Starcraft and downloading porn?
I know that I should be a better man
But I'm male; I'm doing all I can
I just screw up no matter how I try
And the reason is that I am a guy
Girl I did remember our anniversary
I paid my share of dinner and I shouted GST
Every time that I forget, you need to stay calm
I would know your birthday if you had Birthday Alarm
Girl, I pay attention though I look at her instead
Our bodies have a reflex and sometimes we turn our head
Girl I have been faithful no matter what you say,
The Laws of Nature state that it's not cheating if you pay
I know that I should be a better man
But I'm male; I'm doing all I can
I just screw up no matter how I try
And the reason is that I am a guy
Sorry if I'm cold to you when you try to talk to me
When Im playing Halo, or if something's on TV
But this communication stuff is just too much to take
Relationship advice from Oprah Winfrey and Ricki Lake
Now that we communicate, I understand I need
To clean the bathroom floor, girl, and put down the toilet seat
I ignore the messages that you leave on my phone
Sorry girl, but it's all the testosterone
You say I should be helpful; "Is that too much to ask?"
"Use that uber micro, and just learn to multitask"
I need to call the handyman; I need to buy a cow
I can't mow the lawn while I am busy playing WoW
I never know your feelings, or anything you said
I never like good movies, girl, I never plan ahead
I can never find my wallet; I can never find my keys
Or the clitoris, or the remote for the TV
I know that I should be a better man
But I'm male; I'm doing all I can
I just screw up no matter how I try
And the reason is that I am a guy
I know I know I know I know I know
I know I know I know I know I know I know
I understand I understand I understand I understand
I really do I really do I really do I really do
Oh girl, I hear what you say
No more Warhammer 40K
Or Time Crisis, or DDR
Get a qualified mechanic to fix the car
Girl Girl Girl Giiiiiirl
Oooooooooooooooooo-oo-oo-ooh
Yeah
Thank you for watching!
