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
