Misunderstood At an early age At an early age I couldn’t read the signs I couldn’t read the pages I couldn’t read the pages I felt like a stranger So I didn’t speak I didn’t speak I just said
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh When they spoke to me I just said Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh Pardon, je n’ai pas compris
As time seemed to pass And I learned the language I learnt the language But I felt disconnected From my mothers tongue I couldn’t understand it And she looked at me With such disbelief Is when I couldn’t speak I just said
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh When she spoke to me And I just said Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh Pardon, je n’ai pas compris
But I seem to find my way around These complicated foreign sounds But had no-one had told me there would be All of these changes This city’s an awful place to be It’s poisoned the air I breathe And I will not stay where I’m not wanted But I don’t want to leave
So no matter where I go I know where I came from I know where I came from ‘Cause I speak in a tone That speaks to the soul And you know how it goes
When it says Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh When it spoke to me When it says Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh When it spoke to me Mais je n’ai pas compris
