[Verse 1] Now darling, go and try to make up with your mama Pick up the phone and call yourself your papa Try to make amends before they're dead And brother, go and try to get your shit together No one expects you always to be clever Whether you've done the best or worst, it's all you can [Pre-Chorus 1] A father, son, and some messed up folks This blighted tree's been trimmed But these limbs still grow Hold on to hope [Chorus] Try to understand, yeah Try to understand, yeah Try to understand I ain't your man So go dust it off, walk it off [Verse 2] Now mamma, try opening up your mouth for all these children Speak up and let some wisdom flow right through to them Well from your lips to someone's ears it's said Or so it's said [Pre-Chorus 2] Now a father, son, and some messed up folks I think I'll get it someday, but for now I won't Hold on to hope [Chorus] Try to understand, yeah Try to understand, yeah Try to understand I ain't your man So go dust it off, walk it off [Verse 3] Well me, I, guess we should have all just stuck together Take my own advice, try to get better Cause whether its the best or worst, it's all I can Oh man [Chorus] Try to understand, yeah Try to understand, yeah Try to understand I ain't your man So go dust it off, walk it off
