Song Lyrics

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

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

But I misunderstood
Yeah, I misunderstood
Oh, I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying good bye

But I misunderstood
Oh, I misunderstood
Yeah, I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying good bye

Things I tried to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly

She said "The thing that's so unique
When we're together we don't have to speak
We'll always be such good friends, you and I"

But I misunderstood
Oh, I misunderstood
Yeah, I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying good bye

Oh, I misunderstood
Yeah, I misunderstood
I guess 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

Oh, she was saying goodbye
And I just misunderstood
