Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood [Bridge] If I seem edgy, I want you to know That I never meant to take it out on you Life has its problems and I've got my share That's one thing I never meant to do 'Cause I love you [Verse 2] Baby! Don't you know I'm just human And I've got thoughts like any other man? And sometimes I feel myself alone, regretting Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done [Chorus] 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood [Post-Chorus] Oh, Lord! Don't you let me be misunderstood! Don't let me be! Don't let me be misunderstood! No! No! No! No! No! No! [Instrumental break] Oh, come to me, baby! Esmeralda Come on, baby! You're so sweet My sweet Esmeralda, babe! Help me! Help me! I love you! Oh, don't play with me, baby! Come on! Come to me! Esmeralda Oh, baby! Oh, please! Oh, I need you, baby! My sweet Esmeralda [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood [Verse 4] Baby, sometimes, I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry And then you're bound to see my other side [Chorus] 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood [Bridge] If I seem edgy, I want you to know That I never meant to take it out on you Life has its problems and I've got my share That's one thing I never meant to do 'Cause I love you [Verse 5] Oh, baby! Don't you know I'm human? I have thoughts like any other man And sometimes I feel myself alone, regretting Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done [Chorus] 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood
