Lyrics

Well I've got more scars than a man should have
Every other woman ran once they figured that
But you came and stayed and you loved me true
No I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
If I didn't have you

Well my father told me before he went away
For every pleasure in life there's a price to pay
Give your heart to a woman and boy you're through
But I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
If I didn't have you

I don't listen to the people
When they tell me, you're no good
They will never understand that you're a heart misunderstood
You're a heart misunderstood

When I left home and made my way in this world
Momma said be careful when you're looking for a girl
Break your heart and cheat you blind with the wiles they use
She was right about the others but she didn't know you
No she didn't know you

I don't listen to the people
When they tell me, you're no good
They will never understand that you're a heart misunderstood
You're a heart misunderstood

And I just get so dark
No one wants to be alone
I can't guess where this will end
But I want you for my own

I don't listen to the people
When they tell me, you're no good
They will never understand that you're a heart misunderstood

I don't listen to the people
When they tell me, you're no good
They will never understand that you're a heart misunderstood
You're a heart misunderstood
You're a heart misunderstood
