Misunderstanding Lyrics by Genesis

Platinum Collection

1980

[Chorus]
There must be some misunderstanding (Woo)
There must be some kinda mistake (Woo)
I waited in the rain for hours (Woo)
And you were late

[Post-Chorus]
Now it's not like me to say the right thing (Woo)
But you could've called to let me know (Woo)
I checked your number twice, don't understand it (Woo)
So I went home

[Verse 1]
Well, I'd been waiting for this weekend
I thought that maybe we could see a show
Never dreamed I'd have this feeling
Ah, but seeing you is believing
That's why I don't know why you didn't show up that night

[Chorus]
There must be some misunderstanding (Woo)
There must be some kinda mistake (Woo)
I was waiting in the rain for hours (Woo)
And you were late

[Verse 2]
Since then, I've been running around tryna find you
I went to the places that we'd always go
I rang your house but got no answer
Jumped in my car, I went 'round there
I still don't believe it, he was just leaving

[Chorus]
Oh, there must be some misunderstanding (Woo)
There must be some kind of mistake (Woo)
There must be some misunderstanding (Woo)
Yes, there must be some kind of mistake

[Outro]
(There must be, there must be, oh, oh) Misunderstanding
(There must be, there must be, oh, oh) Misunderstanding
(Yes, there must be, there must be, oh, oh) Misunderstanding
(Yes, there must be, there must be, oh, oh) Misunderstanding
(There must be, there must be, oh, oh)
