Misunderstood - Lyrics by Better Than Ezra


Lyrics
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.
