Misunderstood
Love's Complex Dance: Theo Thomson's 'Misunderstood' Reflections
Lyrics
I want you
I desire you
But you're someone else's boo oh
You belong to someone else
I need you
I require you
But I got somebody too oh
But I am committed to somebody else
He can't treat you like I could
He cannot treat you as well as I could
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Expressing emotional tones
Oh-oh oh oh oh
Continuation of emotional expression
Sitting when I sing now
Describing a situation of singing while seated
So misunderstood
Feeling not correctly understood by others
Misunderstood
Reiteration of being misunderstood
Guess I got a lot to learn when it comes to love
Acknowledging a lack of understanding in love
Is it lust am I rushing looking in the wrong place or something
Questioning if it's love or haste in the wrong direction
Maybe all the above
Possibly experiencing a mix of emotions
Still I live in a lie till its our time
Living in a falsehood until the right time
Maybe this will work at least I can say I tried
Optimism about the potential success of the relationship
Yeah, yeah yeah
Repetition for emphasis
I want you
Reiteration of desire despite obstacles
But you're someone else's boo oh
Repetition of belonging to someone else
I need you
Repetition of needing despite existing commitments
But I got somebody too oh
Reiteration of the inadequacy of the current partner
He can't treat you like I could
Reinforcing the idea that the speaker can provide better treatment
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Repetition for emotional emphasis
Oh-oh oh oh oh
Continuation of emotional expression
Sitting when I sing now
Describing a situation of singing while seated (repeated)
So misunderstood
Repetition of feeling misunderstood
Misunderstood
Reiteration of being misunderstood
Don't get me wrong, this ain't something that I'm used to
Clarification that the situation is unusual for the speaker
False pretenses, numbing senses
Describing a state of deception and emotional numbness
A mystery with no clue oh oh
Highlighting a mysterious and confusing situation
I didn't choose to love you
Emphasizing the lack of control over falling in love
Don't know how it happened
Expressing uncertainty about the origin of emotions
Get knocked down so I stand up
Overcoming challenges and standing up after setbacks
Ain't nobody laughing, no
Addressing a serious tone, emphasizing no one is laughing
Why do I feel like a joke?
Feeling like a joke, questioning one's self-worth
Why?
Persistent inquiry into the reason for feeling this way
I want you
Reiteration of desire despite obstacles
But you're someone else's boo oh
Repetition of belonging to someone else
I need you
Repetition of needing despite existing commitments
But I got somebody too oh
Reiteration of the inadequacy of the current partner
He can't treat you like I could
Reinforcing the idea that the speaker can provide better treatment
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Repetition for emotional emphasis
Oh-oh oh oh oh
Continuation of emotional expression
Sitting when I sing now
Describing a situation of singing while seated (repeated)
So misunderstood
Repetition of feeling misunderstood
Misunderstood
Reiteration of being misunderstood
