[Verse 1] If you know my name
Why are you calling out
To an old love?
To an old love?
When you need someone
Why do you always run?
To your lord up above?
To your lord up above?

[Chorus] I just want to understand you
I don't need to be your man in blue

[Verse 2] Your days all the same
Prayers like drops of rain
As you wait for the flood
To cleanse everyone
Can you hear my voice?
In a high, lonesome rejoice
Sing a song for you
In and out of tune

[Chorus] And I just want to understand you
I don't need to be your man in blue
I just want you to see yourself the way I do
I don't need to be your man in blue
No, I don't need to be your man, man in blue
