Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

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

'Cause 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

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

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

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

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

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

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

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

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

'Cause 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

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

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

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
