Nina Simone — Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (1964)

Текст песни: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (1964)

[Verse 1]
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little bit mad
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

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

[Verse 2]
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]
But 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 mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do 'cause I love you
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm a human?
I have faults, like any other one
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done

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