Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood lyrics
Elvis Costello
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? 
When things go wrong I seem to be mad
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 
Other times it seems that all I have to do is worry 
And then I know 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 get 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 
But that is one thing I would never do 'cause I love you
Oh, don't you know I'm human? 
I've got my faults just like anyone 
Sometimes I lie awake long regretting 
Some foolish thing, some sinful thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
