Why did I feel so happy while others were so sad'
It seemed okay to me, I was pretty much pleased,
You just heard it another way,
With a different set of rhythms,
With an emphasis on the details,
With an eye for what I missed,
You just heard it another way, oh,
One that's not so flattering,
The one that's not so serving, and happy to obey,
No apologies necessary; you hear it another way,
You just heard it another way,
You heard it,
You heard it another way.

You just heard it another way, that's alright.
