Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (Nina Simone cover) Lyrics
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 feel real bad
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
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 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
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing - some little simple thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
(repeat)
(repeat)
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 feel real bad
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
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
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
And I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do
Oh
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing - some little simple thing I've done
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
(repeat)
(repeat)

This song was poetic at the end of layercake. It really made the scene even more intense!
I love this song so much. One of my favourite songs ever!
The chorus rules.
To me, it's simply about someone asking for forgiving after doing something bad.
to me once again through his songs I can share simplicity, gentelness, careless that Joe is living.Specially here we can feel how it's sometimes dificult for him to accept the soul and the material world to live together, and it is with a lot of kindness that he shows it to us, thank you big soul, thank's
