Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood Songtext
von Nina Simone

Baby, 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 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 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 its problems and I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
′Cause 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 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
