Question 1 of 10
1. "Maybe I'm a man, and maybe I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something that he doesn't really understand. Maybe I'm a man, and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me. Baby, won't you help me to understand?" Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. "Well, I know it's kind of late; I hope I didn't wake you. But what I've got to say can't wait; I know you'd understand. 'Cause every time I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong. So, I'll have to say 'I love you' in a song." Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. "Down in the pleasure centre, hell bent or heaven sent, listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander. There's nothing underhand, that she wouldn't understand. Pump it up until you can feel it. Pump it up when you don't really need it." Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. "When I was a child, I had a fever; my hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again. I can't explain, you would not understand, this is not how I am." Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. "I'm dirty, mean, and mighty unclean; I'm a wanted man. Public Enemy Number One, understand? So, lock up your daughter, lock up your wife, lock up your back door and run for your life." Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. "Well, I do my best to understand, Dear, but you still mystify and I wanna know why. I pick myself up off the ground, to have you knock me back down, again and again." Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. "You've been telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen. In all the time I've known you, I still don't know what you mean. The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you'd planned. The things that pass for knowledge, I can't understand." Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. "Daddy thinks I'm crazy; he don't understand, never saw inside my head. People think I'm lazy but I'm in demand, never heard a word I said. Mama's gonna worry; I've been a bad, bad boy." Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. "It's okay, I understand; this ain't no never-never land. I hope that when this issue's gone, I'll see you when your clothes are on. We'll take your car, yes we will; we'll take you car and drive it. We'll take it to a motel room and take 'em off in private." Hint
