DON'T MISUNDERSTAND
(Gordon Parks)


as recorded by Nancy Wilson
1973


Dom't misunderstand,
We are only strangers
On our way to someone else,
To some place we forgot.

Don't mistake my smile,
It just means I'm lonely.
Love me till this day has passed
And then forget we met.

We're just stealin' time
In some secret place,
Yielding to a soft one day
To love the pain away.

Don't misunderstand me,
You are no concern of mine,
But in case you're free sometime,
And need some time with me sometime
To hold my hand,
Then I will understand.

Don't misunderstand,
You are no concern of mine;
Just in case you're free sometime,
And need some time with me sometime,
You wanna hold my hand
Then I, I will understand.
