[Verse 1]
She said, "Darling, I'm in love with your mind
The way you care for me is so kind
Love to see you again, I wish I had more time"

[Verse 2]
She was laughing as she brushed my cheek
"Why don't you call me, angel, maybe next week?
Promise now, cross your heart and hope to die"

[Chorus]
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye

[Verse 3]
Things I try to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly
[Verse 4]
She said, "Thе thing that's so unique
When we'rе together we don't have to speak
We'll always be such good friends, you and I"

[Chorus]
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying good—
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying good—
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye

[Outro]
She was saying goodbye
She was saying, saying, saying
She was saying goodbye
Woah, woah, woah, woah
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm
Oh, woah, woah, woah
Mmm hmm
Ooh
