Misunderstood

I hide behind my robes and I hide behind my books

I hide behind all of the time and keep getting dirty looks

Like I'm some sort of a hobbit hiding way down in his hole

I'm not really in the habit of being wild and out of control

 

But I'm just mis-un-der-stood, I'm just misunderstood,

Just M-I-S-U-N-D, E-R-S-T, double-Oh-D, misunderstood.

I'm misunderstood, and baby, I am up to no good!

 

 

I like to sit and read a scroll before a roarin' fire

And a glass of wine, perhaps merlot, right before I retire

But when I catch someone starin' an they say "Oh, that librarian!"

What they don't know is precisely what I'm sharin', an'…I'm…

 

Just mis-un-der-stood, oh, I'm just misunderstood,

Just M-I-S-U-N-D, E-R-S-T, double-Oh-D, misunderstood.

I'm misunderstood, and baby, I am up to no good!

 

 

Whenever I sit behind my desk appearing just to think

Well, I'll tell you now, holy cow! Oh, what a kink!

Beneath scrolls about the sea and mappings of geography

I keep Rivendell's largest collection of E-Ro-Tic Po-Et-Try

 

Just mis-un-der-stood, baby, I'm just misunderstood,

Just M-I-S, forget the rest, oh, if only I could!

 

It's just, 

I lust, oh, and 

forgive me if I rushed, 

but I must 

be 

mis-under-stoooooooood!
