As I stand around my friends I see
Heartaches and loneliness all around me
But my man and me, we found the key
The lifelong of loyalty, and the reason is
I understand my man
And my man understands me
We have so much togetherness
It brings the two of us so very, very much happiness
He’s my strength when I am weak
He lets me know he’s mine to keep
There’s so much faith and trust
Between the two of us
Cause I understand my man, yes I do
And my man, he understands me
Whenever I need a shoulder to cry on
He’s always there, his love I can rely on
Soft words he speaks and holds me near
And all my troubles just disappear
Strong our love would be
I need him, he needs me
And I understand my man
And my man understands me, yes he does
No matter how bad troubles might be
I let him know he’ll always have me
I stand beside him all the way
Right or wrong, I love him long
There’s so much faith and trust
Between the two of us
Cause I understand my man, yes I do
And my man, he understands me
I understand my man
I bought the Elgins album "Darling Baby" in 1975 and loved this song especially. It was just so hot along with Darling Baby. Motown had so much talented singers in their roster.
