Reisa L. Gerber - Maybe You Would Understand Lyrics
Maybe You Would Understand (Why)My friend didn't feel well for awhile.She wouldn't laugh, no, no,She wouldn't smile.She got violent one rainy afternoon-They called the cops, it was over soonChorus:Now she had more pain in her mindThan "Sister Morphine"But they say "She needs a drug to keep her high"But if you had been some placesWhere she's been,Maybe you would start to wonder "Why"-yi-yiMy friend, he had noplace to go-His mother and his father tried to get him toCome home.But he'd spent so much time tryig to get away,From them, he said, "Aint coming back"-They found him on a parkbench, unconscious-Look at his arms-you'll see the tracks.Chorus:My friend was a genius at his schoolHe never cursed, never drank,And followed the golden Rule.Oneday he hung out on the cornerWith a gang of ill repute-He raped a girl"because he thought that she was cute".Chorus:Dedicated to: The Rolling StonesReisa L.
