"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" lyrics

"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"
(originally by Nina Simone)

Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad... oh well
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When things go wrong I seem bad...

Oh but I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Oh when sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

Oh but I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
But life has its problems
And I have my share
And that's one thing I never wanna do

Baby, don't you know I-I'm only human
And have thoughts like any other one?
Oh when sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little thing, some little simple thing I've done
But you know

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Please don't let me be misunderstood...
