I'm so misunderstood Around my neighborhood I do what I do to protect myself You do it too so does everyone else It's a matter of perception Ain't that the truth? So why am I sitting here with a case of the no friends blues? For now all I can say They're all afraid of my spray I'm really as harmless as can be Ask anyone from my family They always tell me I'm so cute So why do I have a case of these no friends blues? One of these days I'm gonna be the queen of perfume People will all crowd around me when I walk in the room Popular will be my name They'll all wanna smell They'll ask me how I make my stuff As if I'd ever tell For now All I can say I'm misunderstood So misunderstood I'm misunderstood So misunderstood Why, oh, why am I so Misunderstood
