I misunderstood right from the start
While you gave just kisses
I gave you all the love in my heart

I misunderstood, how foolish I was
To think you would love me
You never could but I misunderstood

I misunderstood your intentions
For they seemed right to me
You showered me with attention
And lies I wanted to believe

I misunderstood, so darling, you should
Love me or leave me, I love you though I misunderstood
Love me or leave me, I love you though I misunderstood
Love me or leave me, I love you though I misunderstood
