Baby, I understand why   Maybe you don't think I know   I see the strain in your eyes   I feel the pain when you cry   Every night, but there is light   Tonight, tonight      Girl, I know that we have made it hard   For you to trust a man   And why should you give your all   For a man to hurt you again      Please forgive me for what we have done   When we were once your sons   I know that you still love us   But we must earn your trust   And baby      Baby, I understand why   Maybe you don't think I know   I see the strain in your eyes   I feel the pain when you cry   Every night, but there is light   Tonight, tonight      Baby, when we can learn to commit   To just once queen   Raise our kids and learn to settle down   Oh, the joy it would bring      Girl, I know that I never really tried   But I will, because I'm willing   Oh yeah yeah      Baby, I understand why   Maybe you don't think I know   I see the strain in your eyes   I feel the pain when you cry   Every night, but there is light   Tonight, tonight      Baby, I understand why   Maybe you don't think I know   I see the strain in your eyes   I feel the pain when you cry   Every night, but there is light   Tonight, tonight      Tonight, ooh yeah, baby   Tonight, there is light tonight
