Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Recently, I really listened to the depth of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood that was performed and recorded by Nina Simone in 1964. I relate to this song on so many levels. As a spiritual being that doesn't always do right, express in the right way, I found this song to speak from the soul of a Soul whose intentions are good....

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - 1964
Performed by Nina Simone
Written by Gloria Caldwell, Sol Marcus, Bennie Benjamin

Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I’m mad…
Dontcha know 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

Ya know sometimes baby 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 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 mean 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

'Cause I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
I try so hard
So please don’t let me be misunderstood


**If I can ever find a 3rd party host for this song, I will add it to the blog.**
