Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Esmeralda Lyrics

Baby, do you understand me now?
Do you really understand me and my intentions?

Sometimes I feel a little mad
Occasionally, I get upset or angry.

But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
It's impossible to always act perfectly and be without fault.

When things go wrong I feel real bad.
I feel awful when things don't go as planned or when I make a mistake.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
I'm a person with genuine and pure intentions.

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I hope that people understand me and don't misinterpret my actions or words.

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
There are times when I am completely relaxed and carefree.

With a joy that's hard to hide
I feel so happy that it's difficult to conceal my emotions.

And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
Occasionally, I feel like the only thing I can do is worry about everything.

And then you're bound to see my other side
At those times, you might see a different side of me than the one you're used to.

If I seem edgy, I want you to know,
If I seem nervous or anxious, I want you to understand why.

That I never mean to take it out on you
I never intend to vent my frustration on you or treat you unfairly.

Life has its problems, and I get my share,
Life is difficult, and I face my fair share of challenges, just like everyone else.

And that's one thing I never mean to do
Despite any struggles, I never want to hurt you or make you feel bad.

Cause I love you,
I love you very much.

Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human
I'm just a human being, like anyone else.

I have thoughts like any other one
I have my own thoughts and ideas, just like everyone else does.

Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Occasionally, I regret things or feel guilty about something I did.

Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
It might even be something insignificant or unimportant that I regret.

Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
I want to emphasize that, above all else, I have good intentions in everything I do.

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I hope that people understand me and see that I'm a good person, despite any mistakes or flaws.

Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Again, I want to make it clear that my intentions are pure and good.

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Once more, I hope that others don't misinterpret me and see the truly good person that I am.
