Misunderstood
Talking in her sleep again
Reciting lines start to end
But she's not crazy
(Knock on wood)
Just a little misunderstood
She takes a walk at 4 AM
Wakes the neighborhood again
And I find myself recalling
Everything she used to tell me
Aw yeah, alright,
Truth hurts inside
Aw yeah, that's right,
You go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers
On a governmental chart
She's waiting tables the next day
She pulls a double then on her way
To an audition in Hollywood, yeah,
A little misunderstood
We sit around the house
Waiting for the phone to ring
And I know she alone holds the key
To everything I want to be
Aw yeah, alright,
Truth hurts inside
Aw yeah, that's right,
You go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers
On a governmental chart
Everybody wants to be your friend
When you've got something you can give them
All I've seen, bad and good,
She's not crazy
Just a little misunderstood.
Aw yeah, all good,
She's not crazy,
Just a little misunderstood
Two years later you're a star
Who'd have thought we'd get this far?
But I'd give it all away if I
Could see you on that day again
When you quit work
And threw that coffee
At the manager jerk
You said, "Close your eyes
I've got a surprise
A house in the hills
And a car that drives by."
Aw yeah, alright,
Truth hurts, don't it?
Inside
Aw yeah, that's right,
You go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers
On a governmental chart
Everybody wants to be your friend
When you've got something you can give them
All I've seen, bad and good,
She's not crazy
Just a little misunderstood
Aw yeah, all good,
She's not crazy,
Just a little misunderstood
