Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood Baby, you understand me now If sometimes you see that I'm mad Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?

Through all the hardship, you know you're a friend of mine The kind that lasts a lifetime Yeah we got friendship 'Cause we got friendship Said what's wrong my old time friend Something's bothering you Tell me what the problem is I'll see what I can do

It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart It's hard letting you go It ain't no fun lying down to sleep And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep I wish the stars up in the sky Would all just call in sick And the clouds would take the moon out On

So when the waves come rolling in Then I won't turn the tide And in the line of fire You'll set me aside So go on Richard let go On our last trip to the coast We watched the boats sail the sea "How effortlessly they float" You turned and said to me

'Cause all we know is falling, it falls And remember, 'cause I know that we won't forget at all It takes some time to let you go And it shows This isn't what you wanted We've tried so hard to understand But we can't We held the world out in our hands

Oh father, please father I'd love to leave you alone but I can't let you go Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter Please father You have a hollowed out heart but it's heavy in your chest I tried so hard to fight it but it's hopeless You're

I'm there in the water Still looking for ya Can't you see, can't you see If I was not myself And you were someone else I'd say so much to you And I would tell the truth Cause I can hardly breathe When your hands let go of me

Instead, you wanna wait until I'm coming home Oh, I know that you won't let it go Can't we just talk it out before I go? It's hard for me to say this without sounding impatient And I know you know You know how we can fix it Just tell me and I'll listen,

Turn all the lights on! A-a-a-a-a-a-a a-ah A-a-a-a-a-a-a I need some lights, it's way too dark Oh yeah I'm going in They need to turn up the lights Put your hands up if you're going hard Okay okay I'm with my friends Let the party begin

Honey, what you done to your head Honey, what's the words that I said You see me crying Don't let it get you down I'm back to the lost and found Say you're a ladies man So hard to understand Please say you'll stick around And I got to be your lover, honey
