I Misjudged You
Love's Redemption: I Misjudged You
Lyrics
Sha la la la (x2)
Expressing a melodic refrain, setting the tone for reflection.
Just because you accepted
Acknowledging acceptance, likely in a romantic context.
The moment that I asked you to be my girl
Recalling the moment of proposing a romantic relationship.
Sha la la la (x2)
Repeating the refrain for emphasis.
I didn't believe that you could fall in love at first sight
Expressing skepticism about love at first sight.
I didn't think that you were a very nice girl
Doubting the character of the person being addressed.
But I was wrong (that was wrong)
Admitting a previous mistaken judgment.
Oooh, I was wrong (so, so wrong)
Emphasizing the extent of the prior error.
I was wrong (that was wrong)
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a mistake.
I misjudged you, ooh (misjudged you, baby)
Confessing to misjudging the person in question.
You didn't hesitate
Highlighting the partner's prompt response to the proposal.
Because you didn't want to wait
Implying impatience or eagerness in the partner's attitude.
You didn't know if I would ever ask you again
Suggesting uncertainty about the asker's future intentions.
Sha la la la (x2)
Repeating the refrain, possibly signaling a shift in the narrative.
You should have played hard
Advising to play hard to get from the beginning.
Right from the start
Encouraging a more cautious approach to romance.
Cause I condemned you for being so extreme
Criticizing the partner for perceived extremeness.
But that was wrong (that was wrong)
Repeating the admission of a previous misjudgment.
Ooh, that it was wrong (so, so wrong)
Reiterating the magnitude of the earlier error.
Ohh, it was wrong (that was wrong)
Emphasizing the acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
I misjudged you (ohh, baby, I misjudged you baby)
Repeating the confession of misjudging the person.
So now I'm begging
Begging for the love that was previously denied.
For the love I once denied
Expressing regret and a desire for forgiveness.
Darling, I'm sorry
Apologizing for past actions that caused emotional pain.
Arrest these tears that are falling in my eyes
Describing the emotional impact with tears falling.
So if you give me one more chance
Promising not to doubt the partner again if given another chance.
I promise I will never doubt you again
Expressing a commitment to change and fidelity.
Sha la la la (x2)
Repeating the refrain, emphasizing the importance of daily reassurance.
I want you to say each and every day
Requesting the partner to affirm love daily.
Remind me dear
Emphasizing the need for constant reminders.
Don't care where or when
Expressing openness to reminders regardless of time or place.
That I wronged you (that was wrong)
Repeating the acknowledgment of past wrongdoing.
Oooh, I wronged you (so, so wrong, ohh, baby, don't you know that)
Reiterating the depth of regret and acknowledging past errors.
I wronged you (that was wrong)
Affirming the previous acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
I misjudged you (hey baby, I misjudged, misjudged, I misjudged you)
Repeating the confession of misjudging the person.
I misjudged you (hey baby)
Repeating the acknowledgment of misjudging the person.
I misjudged you
-I misjudged you, girl
Concluding with a final repetition of the acknowledgment of misjudgment.
