Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Elvis Costello & The Attractions And Confederates Lyrics


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
With 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 mad at you 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 whoa whoa, don't you know I'm human
I've got my faults just like any one
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

[Verse 1]
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little bit mad
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

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

[Verse 2]
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]
But 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 get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do 'cause I love you

[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm a human?
I have faults, like any other one
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done

[Chorus]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, 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
But 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 do is worry
Then you're 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
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, 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?
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,
And other times it seems that all I have do is worry...
And then you're, 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 it's problems and I get my share
But that is one thing I would never do
'Cause I love you.

Oh-hoh, don't you know I'm human?
Have thoughts like any other one.
Sometimes I find myself long regretting,
Some foolish thing, some little simple 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.

I was 13 back then and asked my father to buy me King of America. Still have the album and the admiration for this man.

Great vocal! I read in Costello’s autobiography that he had laryngitis when recording this vocal. Still sounds great
