Celine Dion "Misled" ("The Colour of My Love" 1993)

"Misled" is the third single from Celine Dion's album "The Colour of My Love". It was released on March 28, 1994. The song was remixed by: Mark Kinchen (MK), Richie Jones, Shedrick Guy (The Groove) and Eric Miller (E-smoove). Live versions of "Misled" can be found on "The Colour of My Love Concert" DVD (1995), "Live à Paris" DVD (1996) and "Live in Memphis" VHS (1998).  The song was included later on the European edition of  "My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection" in 2008.

The music video was directed by Randee St. Nicholas (1994), and included on Céline Dion's DVD video collection "All The Way… A Decade of Song" CD & Video (2001). It alternates between scenes of Dion performing in a club, posing in front of a mirror and in a bathtub, and quarreling with a lover.

"Misled" topped the Hot Dance Club Play chart in the United States for 2 weeks. It was Dion's first number 1 on that chart, until 14 years after, when remixes of "Taking Chances" reached the same position, becoming Dion's second number 1 single on this chart. "Misled" reached top 10 in Canada (number 4), and top 40 in the United Kingdom (number 15), United States (number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100), and New Zealand (number 31). "Misled" reached number 40 in April 1994 in the United Kingdom and later in November 1995 it was re-released and peaked at number 15.

"Misled" won the BMI Pop Award for Most Performed Song in the United States.

Misled

I thought I knew you 

Thought that I knew you well 

We had a rhythm 

But I guess you never can tell 

Oh I learned early 

Never to ignore the signs 

You'll be forgiven 

It ain't worth that much to my mind 

Lovin' you (was) so easy 

It's hard to say goodbye 

But if it's the way it goes it goes 

(Chorus) 

Just a page in my history 

Just another one of those mysteries 

One more lover that used to be 

If you think you're in my head 

You been seriously misled 

Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5 

It takes conviction it takes a will to survive 

I'm not somebody who commits the crime 

And leaves the scene 

But when I've been dissed 

I don't spend much time on what might've been 

I'm not about self-pity 

Your love did me wrong 

So I'm movin', movin' on 

(Chorus) 

Just a page in my history 

Just another one of those mysteries 

One more lover that used to be 

If you think you're in my head 

You been seriously misled
