Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album The One Rolling over trying to sleep And understanding women Thinking of you out there somewhere Looking for a new beginning Just let me be the final word In the book we haven't written I won't be another page In understanding women I could drive to Mexico On understanding women Throw myself against the waves And answer up to heaven How come her heart's so stubborn And what's so wrong with giving Ask the big sky talking About understanding women And I'm not just anyone who ever stood outside your door And I'm not any man you've ever known before Don't judge this picture by the frame Every man is not the same Some men reach beyond the pain
