Originally by Nina Simone
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes you see that I’m mad
Well, don’t you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
You know sometimes I’m so carefree
With a joy that’s hard to hide
And then sometimes again it seems
That all I have is worry
And then you’re bound to see my other side
I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
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 it’s problems and I’ve got more than my share
But that’s one thing I never mean to do
‘Cause I love you
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 who’s intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
