I Do Not Understandby Roger Guppy


Intro:




[G][D][Am][G][D][Am]




Verse 1:




There is a [G]strange, [D]exotic crea[Am]ture,


I have [G]studied for [D]fifty [Am]years,


But [G]as my [D]under[C]standing grows,


[G]So do [D]all my [G]fears.[C][D]




Verse 2:




It [G]does not [D]matter [Am]just how much,


I [G]think I [D]under[Am]stand,


The [G]more I [D]learn, the [C]more I'm confused,


It [G]just gets [D]out of [G]hand.[C][D]




Verse 3:




It [G]really [D]should not be so [Am]hard,


I'm [G]quite and [D]intelligent [Am]man,


Buy [G]they really [D]are so [C]alien,


Why's it so [G]hard to under[D]stand a wo[G]man?[C][D]





Chorus:


A [C]woman can be so de[G]sirable, so [C]sweet and [D]so charm[G]ing,[G7]


The [C]same one can be a [G]de[Em]mon with [C]fangs and [D]claws and [G]horns,


A [C]woman can be [G]all of these things and [C]many [D]more as [G]well,[G7]


But [C]just which one [G]she will [Em]be, a mere [C]man can [D]never [G]tell.[C][D]




Verse 4:




The [G]words you [D]utter to [Am]her one day,


Will [G]earn you a [D]thump on the [Am]head,


The [G]self same [D]words the [C]following day,


Will get you [G]taken [D]to her [G]bed.[C][D]




Chorus:


A [C]woman can be so de[G]sirable, so [C]sweet and [D]so charm[G]ing,[G7]


The [C]same one can be a [G]de[Em]mon with [C]fangs and [D]claws and [G]horns,


A [C]woman can be [G]all of these things and [C]many [D]more as [G]well,[G7]


But [C]just which one [G]she will [Em]be, a mere [C]man can [D]never [G]tell.

Hey Roger - well stated! I couldn't have said it better myself. Some one smarter than me once said, "The more I know about women, the more I know I don't know about women!" But thank heaven...!

Cheers

Re: "I Do Not Understand"

MEOW  Roger, Claws?  Grrr!.

Did you not know that all woman are "PUDDY TATS" in the right Arms?

I was tempted to put a link here, " Understanding Woman and their Hormones?".  But the song is  to good  for that!   You are a Gentleman ! lovely

Song, well played and sung.

Now ladies of the forum! To quote from the film " Paint your Wagon"

" I give you the Boy, now Give me back the Man" end of.

"You all must help Roger here to understand us more"!

All replies to Song Writing Forum!.
Very well done Roger!

Like an arrow to the bullseye, Roger!  Love it!  Absolutely brilliant!

I once saw picture labelled 'Man' that had a little box with one simple on/off switch.  The other picture was labelled 'Woman' and it had the same sort of box except with dozens of switches, dials, knobs, guages, buttons, and complex mysterious bits all over.

Re: "I Do Not Understand"

Hi Jeff, Donna, Lena and James,

Thanks for the comments.

Let me tell you now that ex-wifey, Sue, and Lena were the reason this song was written. In unrelated e-mails to them recentily, they had both mis-understood what I was saying and had to rapidly write messages of explanation before the frying pan came out. I was sure that a man would not have needed the explanation, hence the song. James's analogy of the boxes with buttons is so true.

Mind you it is a subject I intend to keep studying but I doubt I will ever pass the exam. lol

Re: "I Do Not Understand"

Hi Roger and  James,
Personally i think its more commonly known as a "STORM IN A D CUP"  lOL
Now you wont have to push many butttons to figure that one?.

God Roger you make me sound like wifey 2!   Now you know my thoughts on that subject!

Re: "I Do Not Understand"

I thought it was pretty good. Mean, but yet brilliant. You've got my blessing.

Re: "I Do Not Understand"

come on now women moan about men all the time,i managed to see the funny side of this,but then again my husband is the most sarcastic person so i laugh most things off unless it's that you know what time. if a man ever got the painters and decorators in,(if you know what i mean- it's a saying my hubby says to me if i'm in a mood at that time of month) he would know about the hormones a women has to deal with,this is why sometimes we are super,sometimes we are ok and sometimes we are not to be messed with.
Any way i did like your song as i said before, but thought i'd add a little tip to be extra kind at certain times.
