Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Lyrics
Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see I'm mad
Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
with a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
And then you burn 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 me one thing I never mean to do
Cos 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 fooling thing
some simple thing that I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard
So don't let me be misunderstood
If sometimes you see I'm mad
Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
with a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
And then you burn to see my other side
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
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 me one thing I never mean to do
Oh baby
I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
some little fooling thing
some simple thing that I've done
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
So don't let me be misunderstood

Well, interestingly enough, Nina did suffer from bi-polar disorder.
No way. Really? OK, I gotta check this out...

Found this online, but not sure how reliable it is "It is now recognised that this ‘difficulty’ was not just the result of an overly-perfectionist rigor, but her raging outbursts and diva-like extremes were actually the result of a psycho-medical condition, most probably a bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder. Simone reluctantly took medication for her condition from the mid sixties on." Good for Nina in that she was able to find and maintain such professional success. She is my favorite jazz singers of all time.

It really would help to explain the song from her vantage point. Excellent song.

This song is... beautiful! I can't help but cry everytime I listen to this song!
I often feel the feelings in this song. Love it man...
This, to me, sounds like someone suffering from bi- polar disorder or something. Well I love it.

About human nature in general. Spelled out clear and simple. Most people have good intentions.
