Genesis - Misunderstanding Lyrics






There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I waited in the rain for hours
And you were late

Now it's not like me to say the right thing
But you could've called to let me know
I checked your number twice, don't understand it
So I went home

Well I'd been waiting for this weekend
I thought that maybe we could see a show
Never dreamed I'd have this feeling
Oh but seeing you is believing
That's why I don't know why
You didn't show up that night

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I was waiting in the rain for hours
And you were late

Since then I've been running around trying to find you
I went to the places that we always go
I rang your house but got no answer
Jumped in my car, I went round there
Still don't believe it
He was just leaving

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake...

    Mal-entendido

    Deve haver algum mal-entendido
    Deve haver algum tipo de erro
    Esperei na chuva por hora
    E você estava atrasado

    Agora não é como eu dizer a coisa certa
    Mas você poderia ter chamado para me deixar saber
    Eu verifiquei o seu número duas vezes, não a entendem
    Então fui para casa

    Bem que eu estava esperando para este fim de semana
    Eu pensei que talvez pudéssemos ver um show
    Nunca sonhei que eu tenho esse sentimento

    Ah, mas vê-lo para crer
    É por isso que eu não sei por que
    Você não apareceu naquela noite

    Deve haver algum mal-entendido
    Deve haver algum tipo de erro
    Eu estava esperando na chuva por hora
    E você estava atrasado

    Desde então eu fui correndo ao redor tentando encontrar você
    Eu fui para os lugares que sempre vão
    Liguei para a sua casa, mas não obteve resposta

    Pulou no meu carro, eu fui lá rodada
    Ainda não acredito que
    Ele estava de saída

    (2x)
    Deve haver algum mal-entendido
    Deve haver algum tipo de erro

    great band great song

  49. P.... J....

    such an underrated band

    P.... J....

    I wouldn't call it underrated, not by even a little bit. This song however, I do

  50. F.... F....

    Copia de Hold the line de toto y este a su vez copio de Hot fun in the summertime de Sly and the family.

    F.... F....

    No es copiar una canción. Es tratar de hace una canción con un estilo determinado. Lo primero es un plagio y esta canción no tiene nada de eso. Saludos.

  51. c.... o....

    Malentendido....

  52. R.... ....

    como llege aquí :v

  53. H.... J....

    I love this song

  54. b.... ....

    Que Maravilloso

  55. c.... k....

    should have been a hit but alas sadly not good track and great album.

  56. F.... G....

    What is the car he is driving ?

    F.... G....

    hes driving an old ford thats all i saw maybe a 69' or up to a 80'

    F.... G....

    He's driving a 1954 Ford Sunliner Convertible.

    F.... G....

    @Cadillac Frank Thanks. Nice car

  57. C.... C....

    Phil songwriting is Amazing

  58. M.... J....

    deja le telephone portable

  59. S.... A....

    Linda música... Letra maravilhosa... Adoro... Saudades...

  60. R.... H....

    Reminds me "hold the line" by toto.

    R.... H....

    It's a well known fact that Phil ripped off about 3 different songs when writing this. Lazy and uncreative!

    R.... H....

    Funny enough, I just popped over from another blog suggesting that this song is based on “fool in the rain” by led zeppelin !

    R.... H....

    Agree! Curios that two years later, Toto took inspiration for Make believe :-)

    R.... H....

    That`s an important thing when it comes to creativeness........to steal from others. If you do not understand this you can never be creative.........

    R.... H....

    But ways better

  61. V.... P....

    Love Genesis ❤

  62. G.... G....

    Such a beautiful song. I think one of the best Phil has written.

  63. M.... M....

    This videoclip looks like GTA Vice City

  64. D.... v....

    There must be some misunderstanding
    There must be some kind of mistake
    I waited in the rain for hours, you were late

    Now it's not like me to say the right thing
    But you could'nt called to let me know
    I checked your number twice, don't understand it
    So I went home

    +radiorockargentino The single and the videoclip versions were sped up. No idea why they did it, though.

    K.... ....

    +KaikyoNoJinbe Danny and Brian never send us wrong.

    K.... ....

    I honestly like theirs better.

    K.... ....

    I liked the everybody wants to rule the world cover better than the original, because the upbeat nature of the song (not the lyrics) suits nsp's style better, but I like the original of this song because the video and the monotone-ish singing shows how hurt phil is, where with nsp all i can imagine is danny in a fucking cape.

    or ´´just sites´´ ? and why would he (same gender as close he or same person ^^?) check places if its maybe already ´another ´night´´ ?
    and why always night ? ok night holds a special place in lyrics and ´darkness´
    and police and cut ´nylon´s plus metrickallie maybe it sounds better ?

    exactlie be or whatever round there exactlie when ´´´he´´´ came out...

    wouldnt the other look out the window and leave when ol philly phil and his

    plus why home ? was home by the sea ollreddy planed then ?
    why not house ? ok home sounds ´nice´R than flac but...
    i mean if it was some residential palace id be ´home´ not house or ?
    although the english castles are also simply called houses like krupps one

    j.... ....

    +jutubaeh ps he was just leaving... why not he just got ou...d ?
    metrickallie possibell ? or is singer self referencing about loosing
    his mind (just - leaving like in ab sent frenz..?)
    something fishy methinks... maybe it was a hopbag to good ol
    broadway ?
    maybe there are clues in context with the other numbers ? or any
    other gen related # ? or other important #s at the time..?

    Genesis - Misunderstanding, esti sigura ca ai inteles??

  82. R.... C....

    Phil Collins is the fucking man. Name one other artist who could juggle two careers simultaneously, one as a solo artist and the other as the lead of a progressive rock band. 

    R.... C....

    Yes you got that right.

    R.... C....

    Sting? But not simultaneously

    R.... C....

    He did Face Value right between Duke and Abacab....and did No Jacket Required simultaneously with Invisible Touch...

    R.... C....

    Devin Townsend

  83. J.... T....

    When Patrick Bateman first heard this song, off the 1980 album Duke, he must have been struck by the emergence of Phil Collins on the vocals. He's been a big fan ever since.

    J.... T....

    +James Tressler He gave it a glowing in-depth review, it's true.

    old school... Collins in the west coast style

  86. M.... P....

    Genesis: Class Act. Phil Collins multi talented artiste, played the drum, piano, sang and wrote / produced ..

  87. T.... G....

    GUM does an awesome cover of this

    Ashaming song.

  89. b.... s....

    sir phil collins , my hero 

    b.... s....

    Top bloke an singer

  90. A.... M....

    The actual melody was written by Paul McCartney.

    A.... M....

    Don't be bloody silly haha😝

  91. b.... ....

    the song is about Phil collin's marriage break-up..

  92. j.... m....

    1980 turururu!!

  93. J.... W....

    great song, and think this is the first song that we first say phil take the lead for genesis, thank god, cause i think he took genesis in a better direction, prog rock is ok was at the time in the 70's but they was so much better with phil collins here. such a hard hitting song too.

    J.... W....

    Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum yeah I still don't understand Genesis earlier music or why people like it--maybe it's good in concert if you ingest enough illegal substances

    J.... W....

    Gabriel is Genesis but Collins didn't do too bad

    J.... W....

    the 70s genesis is better just my opinion. but this is my favourite song with phil singing

  94. C.... J....

    Soooo good

  95. J.... W....

    great song, and think this is the song that we first saw phil take the lead, his first song that he sang, thank god, cause he became this legend i think in my opinion, genesis was a better band with phil singing, prog rock i find boaring, he took them in a better direction, plus i am a huge phil collins fan, great song so hard hitting.
