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)





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







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







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







Hey, hey, uh huh

Never will you play with my heart

Oh, uh huh (misunderstanding)







Uh huh, never will you

Play with my heart, oh
