Misunderstood
Unveiling Boundaries: Betty Reed's Anthem of Self-Assertion
Lyrics
You came up real cocky like you already knew
You approached with confidence as if you already had understanding.
And when I said my piece and try to leave
After expressing my thoughts and attempting to leave,
You went for take two
You persisted with a second attempt.
Do I have to break it down for you to make it clear
Do I need to explain it explicitly for you to comprehend?
The first “no” that I say is all you have to hear
The initial "no" I say should be sufficient for you to understand.
You misunderstood when I told you
You misunderstood my message when I informed you
No I don’t know you and I got better things to do
I don't know you, and I have more important things to attend to.
You misunderstood when I told you
You misunderstood my communication when I told you
Cause I see you creeping up on me and
Because I notice you approaching me, and
I need you to turn and leave
I need you to turn and walk away.
You should get your ears checked
You should have your hearing checked
Something must be stuck
Something seems to be obstructing your ability to understand.
Cause what I’m putting down
Because what I'm expressing
You don’t seem to be picking up
You don't appear to be comprehending.
Do I have to break it down for you and make it clear
Do I need to clarify explicitly for you to understand?
The first “no” that I say yeah that is all you have to hear
The initial "no" I say should be enough for you to grasp.
You misunderstood when I told you
You misunderstood my message when I informed you
No I don’t know you and I got better things to do
I don't know you, and I have more important things to attend to.
You misunderstood when I told you
You misunderstood my communication when I told you
Cause I see you creeping up on me and
Because I notice you approaching me, and
I need you to fuckin’ leave
I need you to leave emphatically.
So let me break it down for you slowly
Allow me to explain it slowly for you
The finger you lay on me
The accusation or blame you place on me
Is the finger you’ll never see
You will never see any reaction or response from me.
You misunderstood when I told you
You misunderstood my message when I informed you
No I don’t know you and I got better things to do
I don't know you, and I have more important things to attend to.
You misunderstood when I told you
You misunderstood my communication when I told you
Cause I see you creeping up on me and
Because I notice you approaching me, and
I need you to fuckin’ leave
I need you to leave emphatically.
