She said: Darling, I'm in love with your mind
The way you care for me, it's so kind
Love to see you again, I wish I had more time

She was laughing as she brushed my cheek
Why don't you call me, baby, maybe next week
Promise now, cross your heart and hope to die

But I misunderstood
Yeah, I misunderstood
Oh, I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye

Things I tried to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly

She said: The thing that's so unique
When we're together, we don't have to speak
We'll always be such good friends, you and I

But I misunderstood
Oh, I misunderstood
Yeah, I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye

Oh, I misunderstood
Yeah, I misunderstood
I guess I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying good

I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying good
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye

Oh, she was saying goodbye
And I just misunderstood
