Why is it every time I see your face
It's only when I got gas in my Chevy
There's something strange about that
What's up (it's just a)

[CHORUS]
Misunderstanding
I'm not so demanding
Never will you play with my heart
Misunderstanding
I don't know what you're planning
Never will you tear me apart

I know I must be dreaming
All these brand new friends
And I've never seen such
Clever ways to make amends

You never know who's scheming
Is she out for herself
Nowadays you've got to be protected
And it's not for health

Don't you know she drives me crazy
Does she like my walk
Or maybe all she knows
Is that money talks
(Money, money, money, money)

It's a shame the way it is
I really like her smile
I'd like to get to know her
Cause she drives me wild

(Can you tell me why) hey
You need diamonds, you need pearls
(You gotta buy 'em) oh, I've got to buy 'em

(Don't you know) don't you know
(To by my lady) to be my lady
(Drive my Mercedes) drive my Mercedes
(Start giving me that loving) hey

[Repeat CHORUS]

Can't you read between the lines
I never go for stealth
Should I try to sleep the lady
And misuse my wealth

I don't know
The times have changed
I can't sell out
I grew up doing right
And I won't throw it out

(Can you tell me why) hey
You need diamonds, you need pearls
(You gotta buy 'em) oh, I've got to buy 'em

(Don't you know) don't you know
(To by my lady) to be my lady
(Drive my Mercedes) drive my Mercedes
(Start giving me that loving) hey

[Repeat CHORUS]

Yo, Eddie, are you in here
Ha ha, yeah, I thought so

Sounding swell
You know what I'm saying
You know what time it is now, right
Nevelle, get funky

Misunderstanding, misunderstanding
Misunderstanding, that's all it is
Misunderstanding, misunderstanding
Misunderstanding, it's just a

[Repeat CHORUS]

Hey, hey, uh huh
Never will you play with my heart
Oh, uh huh (misunderstanding)

[Repeat CHORUS 2x]

Uh huh, never will you
Play with my heart, oh
