Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell, Sol Marcus for Nina Simone) (live)
Baby, do you understand me now Sometimes I feel a little mad But 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 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 And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry And then you're bound to see my other side
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 Life has its problems, and I get my share And that's one thing I never mean to do Because I love you Oh, oh baby don't you know that I'm human I have thoughts like any other one Sometimes I find myself long regretting Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
