Misunderstood

Have you come to say it's over?
Is it something I have failed to do?
There is only you to blame
You're not the same one that I knew.
Can there be no conversation,
Any animation if you please?
Do you know I'm old enough to read between the lines?
Oh baby, don't be so misunderstood.
Baby, it's just one word after all.
Baby, don't be so misunderstood.
Baby, it's just one word after all.
And we can fall and we can fall,
we can fall.
There's gonna be a thunder in the air.
Everybody under should beware
when you gonna meet someone to
open up your eyes.
There's gonna be a stranger when you're gone.
Gonna be a shadow on the sun.
Someone's gonna get you in the end.
I would still be loving you.
I'm not afraid, let your vision pull me through.
I was a love you could rely on.
Anybody else need not apply.
Do you know which one of us
will be the first to say goodbye?
Can there be no dedication,
dedication that don't pay the rent.
Do you know that I would still be with
you when the money's spent?
And baby, don't be so misunderstood.
Baby, it's just one word after all.
Baby, you know I'd be there if I could.
Baby, it's just one word after all.
And we can fall and we can fall,
we can fall.
There's gonna be a thunder in the air.
Everybody under should beware
when you gonna meet someone
to open up your eyes.
There's gonna be a stranger when you're gone.
Gonna be a shadow on the sun.
Someone's gonna get you in the end.
I would still be loving you.
I'm not afraid let your vision pull me through.
And baby, don't be so misunderstood.
Baby, it's just one word after all.
Baby, you know I'd be there if I could.
Baby, it's just one word after all.
And we can fall and we can fall,
we can fall.
