Nina Simone

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well, don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
But I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've thoughts like any other man
But sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
But I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
'Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be, don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
