(Yo, you Eddie check this out here)
Why is it every time I see your face
It's only when I got gas in my Chevy?
There's something strange about that
What's up?
(It's just a)

Misunderstanding, I'm not so demanding
Never will you play with my heart
Misunderstanding, I don't know
What you're planning
Never will you tear me apart

I know I must be dreaming
All these brand new friends
And I've never seen such clever ways
To make amends, you never know
Who's scheming, is she out for self?
Nowadays you've got to be protected
And it's not for health

Don't you know she drives me crazy
Does she like my walk or maybe
All she knows is that money talks
(Money, money, money)

It's a shame the way it is
I really like her smile
I'd like to get to know her
'Cause she drives me wild

Can you tell me why you need diamonds
(Hey)
You need pearls and I gotta buy 'em
Oh, I've got to buy 'em, don't you know
(Don't you know)

To be my lady
(To by my lady)
Drive my Mercedes
(Drive my Mercedes)
Start giving me that lovin' hey
Misunderstanding, I'm not so demanding
Never will you play with my heart
Misunderstanding, I don't know
What you're planning
Never will you tear me apart

Can't you read between the lines?
I never go for self, should I try to sleep
The lady and misuse my wealth?
I don't know the times have changed
I can't sell out, I grew up doing right
And I won't throw it out

Can you tell me why you need diamonds
(Hey)
You need pearls and I gotta buy 'em
Oh, I've got to buy 'em, don't you know
(Don't you know)

To be my lady
(To by my lady)
Drive my Mercedes
(Drive my Mercedes)
Start giving me that lovin' hey

Misunderstanding, I'm not so demanding
Never will you play with my heart
Misunderstanding, I don't know
What you're planning
Never will you tear me apart

Never will you tear me apart
