Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood lyrics

(1964) gloria caldwell, sol marcus, bennie benjamin Baby you understand me now If sometimes you see i'm mad Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong you see some bad Well i'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Ya know sometimes baby i'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide Then sometimes it seems again that all i have is worry And then you burn 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 I never meant to take it out on you Life has its problems And i get more than my share But that's me one thing i never mean to do Cos i love you Oh baby I'm just human Don't you know i have faults like anyone? Sometimes i find myself alone regretting Some little fooling thing Some simple thing that i've done I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard So don't let me be misunderstood
