Just A Little Misunderstanding - lyrics

It's a cold boy
To hurt his girl
And watch her walk away cryin'
When all along
He knows he's wrong
To be so hard on a girl that's tryin'
I was so unkind to hurt you so
Goin' out of my mind
I just gotta let you know, yeah

Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding

I remember you said
You will always care
Until death should we do part
Then it surely must be
My destiny
To die the death of a broken heart
So before I become a wonderin' rover
Let's get together
And talk things over

Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding

That's all it is
Baby, let's talk it over
Oh yeah

We've been lovin' so long
That it just seems wrong
That our love could never be
You could be anywhere
Baby, I wouldn't care
If I thought that you needed me
All the chains in the world
Couldn't hold me
Like a robot your love
Controls me

Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding

Baby, please, forgive me
Let's talk it over
