Each time you hurt me you say you're sorry.
And I try to understand and say, "Okay."
But there must be an end to understandin'.
And the end of mine can't be too far away.

I try to understand you're only human.
And we all make mystakes everyday.
But there must be an end to understandin'.
And I know that I just can't go on this way.

Don't you know that love and understanding go together?
Ask too much of one and both will die.
There must be an end to understandin'.
And I know someday I'll reach the end of mine.

[Short instrumental break.]

Don't you know that love and understanding go together?
Ask too much of one and both will die.
And there must be an end to understandin'.
And I know someday I'll reach the end of mine.
