I've been misunderstood
I've been misunderstood
By daylight I'll be gone

I've been living life, ooh without a reason, yeah
I've been living love, ooh without the time, oh
You've lost touch with what I'm feeling baby
I got way too tired to read between the lines, yeah, yeah

I've been misunderstood, I've been mistreated
Somehow I knew you would not take back what you said
I've been misunderstood but your wish in granted
By daylight I'll be gone, baby by daylight I'll be gone, oh yeah

Are you asking me if there's a reason, baby
To continue what I thought was doing fine, so, so fine
Oh, oh contentment lacks mutual pleasing
Is much different than both being satisfied

I've been misunderstood, I've been mistreated
Somehow I knew you would not take back what you said
I've been misunderstood but your wish in granted
By daylight I'll be gone, by daylight I'll be gone, baby yeah

Never thought I would consider
Loving someone new
'Cause in my plans for happiness
I only thought of, only thought of you

I've been misunderstood
Somehow I knew you would not take back what you said
I've been misunderstood but your wish in granted
By daylight I'll be gone, by daylight I'll be gone

I've been misunderstood
Somehow I knew you would not
I've been misunderstood
By daylight I'll be gone
By daylight I'll be gone

I've been misunderstood
Somehow I knew you would not
I've been misunderstood
By daylight I'll be gone
By daylight I'll be gone
