Lyrics
I’ve always had the best of intentions
as if consciousness were mine to raise.
But often I find my heart and my mind at odds with my own mouth -
that’s when I see my life is turnin’ south.
I’ve been so misunderstood, you could call me “Miss Misunderstood.”
I feel the need to apologize for the little lies you think I’ve said.
I’ve been so misunderstood, and I’d take back every word if it’s do any good -
Oh, I’m just “Little Miss Misunderstood.”
I’m gonna take my mind on vacation
and give my heart the space that it needs.
But there ain’t no doubt, I gotta sort out
the things that I mean to say,
and let my lips get out of their own way.
I’ve been so misunderstood, you could call me “Miss Misunderstood.”
I feel the need to apologize for the little lies you think I’ve said.
I’ve been so misunderstood, and I’d take back every word if it’s do any good -
Oh, I’m just “Little Miss Misunderstood.”
