"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" lyrics

Baby, you understand me now
Though sometimes you see that I am mad
No, I can't always be an angel
When everything goes wrong you see some bad

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

Sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Most of the time I'm so full of worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

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

Don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you, no
'Cause life has its problems I've got more in my share
That's one thing I never wanna do

'Cause I love you baby
I'm just human
I've got faults like anyone
Sometimes I think I spend the rest of my life regretting
Some simple thing that I have done

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

Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be
Don't let me be
Don't let me be
Come on come on
Don't let me be
Don't let me be
Don't let me be
Come on come on

Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself
Sometimes I feel so ashamed with myself
You understand me
I try to understand you
Won't you understand me
I try to understand you
Won't you understand me

Come on come on now
Don't let me be
Don't let me be
Don't let me be

Don't let me be
Don't let me be
Don't let me be misunderstood
