Misunderstood - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
It was hard to get along
When I was still in school
I never meant to do no wrong
But I broke all the rules
An' I was prone to non-conformin'
But what harm did I do
I could see the world was crazy
An' I was crazy too
Misunderstood with no one I could tell
Misunderstood by people I know well
Then I thought when I joined a band
That I would finally fit
We tried to stand for somethin' good
An' people made fun of it
I stuck it out as long as
I could but I knew it was time to go
Then I was back out
On the street feeling really low
Misunderstood with no one I could tell
Misunderstood by people I know well
Misunderstood an' nothin' seems to help
Misunderstood but I can't be someone else
I try to say
Where I belong an' live the way I should
But everything just turns out wrong
An' I'm always misunderstood
Wake up Ricky solo
I hate the way people look at me
They thing that I'm no good
Maybe someday I'll make them see
That I'm only misunderstood
It wasn't easy stayin' strong
When I was on my own
It got me nuts when I was young
Now I'm almost grown
If I can have ya by my side
It'd be so good for me
As long as you can understand
Then I will never be
Misunderstood with no one I could tell
Misunderstood by people I know well
Misunderstood an' nothin' seems to help
Misunderstood but I can't be someone else
