Misunderstood Man

[Verse] I'm just a guy named David, can't catch a break, Folks take a look my way, they think, "What a fake." But they don't know the gent beneath this gruff disguise, Just a man who dreams of love, behind these weary eyes. [Verse 2] They see my quick wit and my sarcastic tone, But deep inside, I'm softer than a saxophone. Misjudged and misconstrued, they cast me aside, Yet a tender heart beats strong, no need to hide. [Chorus] Oh, with a bit of girl's love, I'll be good, Turn my shadows into light, if only they understood. I'm not the villain in their tales, you see, I'm just a misunderstood man, a heart that's meant to be free. [Verse 3] I walk the streets with swagger, they think I'm so bold, But it's just a front I wear, 'cause the nights get so cold. If they'd see beyond the mask, they'd surely comprehend, That a touch of love could make this broken heart mend. [Verse 4] I've got dreams and melodies that dance in my mind, A love song waiting for the right heart to find. A little jazz, a little swing, a little girl to hold tight, And David won't be seen as wrong, but as someone right. [Chorus] Oh, with a bit of girl's love, I'll be good, Turn my shadows into light, if only they understood. I'm not the villain in their tales, you see, I'm just a misunderstood man, a heart that's meant to be free.
