Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah It's a cold man to hurt his woman And watch her walk away crying When all along, he knows he's wrong Being so hard on a woman who's trying I was so unkind to hurt you so Going out of my mind I just gotta let you know that Baby, I just can't let you go I realize I hurt you so Our love, surely can we mend it It's just a little misunderstanding I remember you said You would always care Until death should we do part Baby, surely must be our destiny To die the death of a broken heart So before I go, a wandering rover Let's get together Talk this thing over now Baby, I just can't let you go I realize I hurt you so Our love, surely can we mend it It's just a little misunderstanding That's all it is If our love is so wrong? It just seems wrong That our love could never be You could be anywhere Baby, I wouldn't care If I thought that you're leaving me All the chains in the world (Couldn't hold me, couldn't hold me) Like the? our your love (Controls me, controls me) Baby, I just can't let you go I realize I hurt you so Our love, surely can we mend it It's just a little misunderstanding That's all it is Baby, I just can't let you go (oh, yeah) I realize I hurt you so (ooh, yeah) Our love, surely can we mend it (Surely we can we mend it) It's just a little misunderstanding Baby (baby) I just can't let you go
