Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Santa Esmeralda

Lyrics: 

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Bridge]
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've got my share
That's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you

[Verse 2]
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've got thoughts like any other man?
And sometimes I feel myself alone, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, don't you let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be...
Don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, no, no, no

[Instrumental Break]

Oh, come to me, baby
Esmeralda
Come on baby
You're so sweet
My sweet Esmeralda, baby
Help me, help me, I love you
Oh don't play with me, baby
Come on, come to me
Esmeralda
Oh baby, oh please
Oh love me, baby
My sweet Esmeralda

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Bridge]
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've got my share
That's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you

[Verse 2]
Oh baby, don't you know I'm human?
I have thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I feel myself alone, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
