Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood - Live at Westbury Music Fair, Westbury, NY - April 1968 Songtext
von Nina Simone

Baby, do you understand me now
If, sometimes, you see that I′m mad?
No one 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, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And most of the time 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, I got more than my share
That′s one thing I never wanna do do do do, 'cause I love you, baby

I′m just human
I have faults, like anyone
Sometimes, I think I'll spend the rest of my life regretting
Some simple thing that I′ve done

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


Don′t let me be misunderstood
Don′t let me be misunderstood
