Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Boys & Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Sometimes I get a little mad
Don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong, I seem to go bad
I'm just a Soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood
With a joy that's hard to hide
Yeah, and other times it seems that
All I ever have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Well If I get edgy, I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, I get more than my share
But there's one thing that I would never do
Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Well If I get edgy, I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, I get more than my share
But there's one thing that I would never do
'Cause I love you
Oh
Oh, now don't you know I'm human
I got my faults just like anyone
And sometimes I lie awake, alone, 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 said, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
The lyrics of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by Boys & Girls convey a deep sense of vulnerability and the fear of being misunderstood. The singer is pleading with their significant other to understand them, particularly during times of anger or negativity. The opening lines, "Baby, can you understand me now? Sometimes I get a little mad," showcase the singer's concern about their emotions and the potential strain it may put on the relationship.
The lyrics also highlight the dual nature of the singer's personality. On one hand, they have moments of carefreeness and joy that they struggle to conceal. However, on the other hand, there are times when worry takes over and their other side is revealed. This pluralistic nature makes the singer afraid of being perceived solely as the negative aspect of themselves.
The repeated line "I'm just a soul whose intentions are good" emphasizes that despite the flaws and struggles they face, the singer's intentions are always rooted in good. This plea to be understood and not judged solely based on their moments of negativity or mistakes is the core sentiment of the song. The singer acknowledges their faults and asks for empathy and understanding.
Overall, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a heartfelt plea for acceptance, empathy, and the recognition of the complexity of human emotions. It asks for understanding even during moments of imperfection or negativity.

Era una niña de 7-8 años cuando escuché esta joya por primera vez y me fascinó 😍
Aún la escucho y es fantástica.

Más o menos andaba yo a la misma edad en ese entonces y más tarde pude conseguir el LP y el cassette además de el sencillo de 7 pulgadas
Me da gusto ver un comentario que no menciona a Kill Bill

Então somos dois, me acabava nos roles de discotecas, sobrava pouco de nós no final das baladas.
