Misunderstood Songtext
von Better Than Ezra

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 a.m.
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.
