Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Nina Simone

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 seem to be bad 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 meant to take it out on you Life has its problems And I got my share And that's one thing I never meant to do 'Cause I love you Baby, don't you know I'm just human And I've got thoughts like any other man And sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Oh Lord, don't let me be misunderstood Please don't let me be misunderstood 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 seem to be bad 'Cause 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 'Cause 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 meant to take it out on you Life has its problems And I got my share And that's one thing I never meant to do 'Cause I love you Oh, baby, don't you know I'm human I have thoughts like any other one And sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

(Benjamin/Marcus/Caldwell) Baby, do you understand me now? Sometimes I feel a little mad. Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel. When things go wrong, it seems so 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 all I do is worry, And then I show my other side. 'Cause 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'd never mean to take it out on you. Life has its problems and I get my share, That's one thing that I never mean to do. 'Cause I love you. 'Cause 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'd 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. Oh baby, don't you know I'm human And have thoughts like any other one. And sometimes I find myself alone, Regrettin' some foolish things that I have done. 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. No, no, no, misunderstood. Oh yeah, yeah, don't let me be misunderstood. Please don't let me be misunderstood.

Baby, can you understand me now? Sometimes I feel a little mad Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?

This song was, eh, I was told to sing by Miriam Makeba And she is my dear friend And it is a prayer Those of you who are fans of hers will remember this song Westwind blow ye gentle Over the shores of yesterday My sun is brown and over Here within my heart they lay, they lay Westwind with your wisdom Gather all the young for me Black cloud hanging over Nest your bosom strong and free Got each gallon water is plane Got each gallon water is plane 'Cos I am the soil from which they came I am the soil from which they came So Westwind with your splendor Take my people by the hand Spread your glory sunshine off And unify my promised land Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us Westwind with your splendor Take my people by the hand Spread your glory sunshine out Unify my promised land Unify my promised land Unify my promised land
