There has to be a reason
Why everyone speaks bad of my baby
I think I know that reason
And it is oh so sad
They say she walks the streets
But that's not strictly true
She's got a lot to eat
And she's not as rich as you
She's just a little misunderstood
That's all

Everyone needs somebody
To get them through that time
You may not love that someone
As much as I love mine
But if she walks the streets
Does that condemn her soul
Or is heaven so complete
it rejects a heart of gold
She's just a little misunderstood
a little misunderstood
A little misunderstood
That's all

And if she walks the streets
Does that condemn her soul
Or is heaven so complete
it rejects a heart of gold
She's just a little misunderstood
a little misunderstood
She's just a little misunderstood
That's all

And if she walks the streets
Does that condemn her soul
Or is heaven so complete
