- Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Lyrics / with translationsBaby, you understand me now
if sometimes you see that I'm mad.
Don't you know that 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 it seems again 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 meant 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.
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.
I try so hard,
so don't let me be misunderstood.
if sometimes you see that I'm mad.
Don't you know that 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 it seems again 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 never meant 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.
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.
I try so hard,
so don't let me be misunderstood.
