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 4AM

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.
