Misunderstood

Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees

Have you come to say it's over

Is it something I have failed to do

There is only you to blame

You're not the same one that I knew

Can there be no conversation

Any animation if you please

Do you know I'm old enough to read between the lines



Oh baby don't be so misunderstood

Baby it's just one word after all

Baby don't be so misunderstood

Baby it's just one word after all

And we can fall and we can fall

We can fall



There's gonna be a thunder in the air

Ev'rybody under should beware

When you gonna meet someone to

Open up your eyes

There's gonna be a stranger when you're gone

Gonna be a shadow on the sun

Someone's gonna get you in the end

I would still be lovin' you

I'm not afraid, let your vision pull me through



(break)



I was a love you could rely on

Anybody else need not apply

Do you know which one of us

Will be the first to say goodbye

Can there be no dedication

Dedication , that don't pay the rent

Do you know that I would still be with

You when the money's spent



And baby don't be so misunderstood

Baby it's just one word after all

Baby you know I'd be there if I could

Baby it's just one word after all

And we can fall and we can fall

We can fall



There's gonna be a thunder in the air

Ev'rybody under should beware

When you gonna meet someone

To open up your eyes

There's gonna be a stranger when you're gone

Gonna be a shadow on the sun

Someone's gonna get you in the end

I would still be lovin' you

I'm not afraid , let your vision pull me through



And baby don't be so misunderstood

Baby it's just one word after all

Baby you know I'd be there if I could

Baby it's just one word after all

And we can fall and we can fall

We can fall

Misunderstood - Bee Gees

Released in 1971, "Misunderstood" stands as a quintessential example of the Bee Gees' early transition from soul-influenced harmonies to their signature disco sound. The track features the brothers' intricate vocal interplay and a driving, rhythmic composition that would become a hallmark of their 1970s catalog. While often associated with their later disco era, this recording captures the polished production and melodic sophistication that defined their work during the early 1970s. It showcases their ability to blend pop sensibilities with complex vocal arrangements, setting the stage for their massive commercial success in the coming years.
