Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Eric Burdon & The Ani.. Lyrics


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 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
Yeah, baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
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
Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

No autotune on the vocals, and musicians making honest music. This is such a great performance by Eric Burdon and The Animals. May Chas Chandler and Hilton Valentine rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️

@philvogel5705

Many of the performances on Ed Sullivan were lip sung

@minstrelofMir

also people dont understand how much compression they use they days,,makes everything the loudest thing in the mix and unrealistic

@eileenmaryomalley740

@Phil Vogel no way

@666greyghost666

@Phil Vogel thats not what was stated on the prime rocks series

@maccabbee2014

No reason for autotune back then and on Ed Sullivan only the Supernova Stars performed.

Can you imagine how nerve wracking it would be to perform live like this!!!??? No retakes, no auto tune, no overdubbing or backing tracks. They sound amazing!!!!!

@totallyfrozen

I suppose, but keep in mind that MOST performing bands do it that way. Most musicians are not at the world tour level with Apple computers and Auto-Tune running the show. Most of us just get on a stage, plug in, and put on our best performances. Showmanship is being able to minimize mistakes and emphasize entertainment. Performers have no business having stage fright. That’s for people who shouldn’t be up there to begin with.

@kikivon3501

@totallyfrozen I guess I thought this was a live TV performance? That’s what I was referring to. I know a lot of “ live” TV performances have auto tune, or lip syncing, or backing tracks going on to help the “live” performer.

@michaelvalencia7234

Who even know if this was truly played a lot of bands even Ed has said they lip synced, he always preferred live but Ed knew crowds were too loud in a confined space and it would make the band mates loose tempo… not trying to say they didn’t play or discredit them but my grandfather worked a little on the set of Ed Sullivan and said the old stage area with the seats were probably the lobby of a decent sized hotel and it was very hard to even just here camera queues

My grandfather always said that they would pre record when they did practice runs just in case… and as well as Ed Sullivan asked bands to play specific songs and if they didn’t follow those lists he would start to have them do lip singing
