Small Faces - Understanding Lyrics






When people ask me what love's all about
There's one thing I can say
Some people believe just what I'm puttin' down
Understand your troubles away

You got to do this thing we're feeling
You got to know just what I'm meaning
You gotta believe just what I'm handing
Understanding, understanding

You got to do this thing we're feeling
You got to know just what I'm meaning
You gotta believe just what I'm handing
Understanding, yes, understanding, alright

You see I love this life I live
And I wanna love it with you
But people if you don't understand
Just what I'm, what I'm puttin' down
There's no more I can do

You got to do this thing we're feeling
You got to know just what I'm meaning
You gotta believe just what I'm handing
Understanding, understanding

  1. D.... J....

    Now that's what you call a timeless tune. Best Mod Rock band along with The Who sadly short lived. The legacy of Steve Marriott lives on as Mods never die they just keep on movin .

  2. R.... ....

    Good song.

  3. S.... B....

    The Sex Pistols version is cool. It's a shame they never recorded it in the studio...

  4. I.... s....

    No one can match Steve Marriotts voice.

  5. a.... ....

    I LOVE the drumming at the very beginning. I think it's very Motown.

    a.... ....

    Like the Stones' Satisfaction it was copied from Martha & the Vandella's - Nowhere to Run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3L-nJMyMPI

  6. C.... J....

    Great song!!!!!

  7. k.... ....

    La la la
    La la la
    La la la
    La la la

    When people ask me what love's all about
    There's one thing I can say
    So people believe just what I'm putting down
    Understand your troubles away

    [Chorus:]
    You got to do this thing with feeling
    You got to know just what I'm meaning
    You gotta believe just what I'm handing
    Understanding, understanding

    Ha, yeah, Ha, alright yeah
    La la la. hey hey
    La la la, Come on children, yeah
    La la la, Alright yo!
    La la la

    You got to do this thing with feeling
    You got to know just what I'm meaning
    You gotta believe just what I'm handing
    Understanding, understanding
    Yes understanding, oh right

    You see I love this life I live
    And I want to love it with you
    But people if you don't understand
    Just what I'm, what i'm putting down
    There's no more I can do

    You got to do this thing with feeling
    You got to know just what I'm meaning
    You gotta believe just what I'm handing
    Understanding, understanding
    Ha, yeah, got to keep on movin'

    La la la, Alright yeah
    La la la, Come on children one more time
    La la la, Alright oh
    La la la, You know what i'm signing about
    My babies up tight

    k.... ....

    My baby's uptight. I love it.

  8. N.... K....

    imagine if they had a real producer and arranger

  9. A.... M....

    you can see where paul weller try to capture steve marriots awesome vocals.

  10. �.... ....

    最高の曲なのわかる

  11. v.... w....

    This song kicks ass.

  12. T.... H....

    R.I.P. Ian McLagen

  13. t.... ....

    Wonderful music !!!

  14. R.... C....

    It's been said that Steve and Ronnie came away from Small Faces without a penny in their pockets but one must wonder if they had plenty of money to live in the moment and just decided (as many of us do in similar circumstances having nothing to do with the actual amount of money pissed away) to go for it. I don't know and I'm not claiming to know. I bought my first Small Faces record before being drafted in Feb. '69, and several Faces records after returning from Vietnam in 1970, but still?

    R.... C....

    Ron Cromer they said they were getting paid weekly like a wage and it was good money (£200 keyboard player) grafting all the time and just didn't realise they were being taken to the cleaners

  15. m.... ....

    they just got inducted!

  16. D.... ....

    Another song I have never heard of by the Small Faces. Another hidden gem.

  17. L.... ....

    yep without doubt the classiest B-side ... and probably only this Stevie and S.Winwood could have got away with that "come on children" line without embarrassing themselves

  18. A.... B....

    @willbaird They didn't make much money or toured because of that [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] Don Arden that [censored] [censored] no good so and so!!

    A.... B....

    Don Arden is Sharon Osbourne's father.

  19. A.... B....

    @MrParavision How old are you?

  20. G.... ....

    On which album is this song?

  21. J.... w....

    best B side ever.

  22. b.... ....

    All the comments that I read on this site, some are very true, others are just rubbish. Who in their right mind can say that This Band did not have any influence on todays bands??Everyone has an opinion, but please respect what others have to say, I was lucky enough to see The Small Faces in the 60's, along with many others, including the Who, Jimi Hendrix,Cat Stevens,Kinks, Move. So I have a varied taste in music, call me a cherry picker, but I like what I like. Good music!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. J.... w....

    love this song,,what a superb B side,awesome

  24. H.... F....

    Very nice London-y vibes. *****

  25. J.... w....

    Now this has soul,sing stevie sing.

  26. w.... b....

    the small faces are up there with the who and the jam, they may not have made much money, but they made a huge impact.

  27. t.... ....

    what a load of baseless crap they were all london bands mainly blues influenced the folky based stuff was just that not cherry picked to suit prejudice talk about gee up your own agenda!

  28. E.... R....

    That's just a tipical english rock band. Simply wonderful

  29. r.... c....
