Nina Simone - Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood lyrics

Baby, do you understand me now
If, sometimes, you see that I'm mad?
Don't you know no one alive
Can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

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

You know, sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And then, sometimes, again
It seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

But, oh
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 mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems
And I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
'cause I love you

Oh, oh oh oh, baby, I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults, like anyone?
Sometimes, I find myself alone
Regretting some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done

'Cause I'm just a soul
Whose intentions are good oh, Lord, please
Don't let me be misunderstood

Don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard, so please
Don't let me be misunderstood
