Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
No Mercy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 feel real bad.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
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 its problems, and I get my share,
And that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you,
Oh,

baby - don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, 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
Don't know I'm human

Don't let me be misunderstood

Don't know I'm human
Don't let me be misunderstood
Sometimes I feel '
Don't know I'm human
Oh baby
You're so smooth
Babe
Cuz I'm hear a song in soul ohhh

Babe ohh nooooo

Don't let me be misunderstood




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

This sentiment is tied up in the idea that love can conquer all, as the singer repeatedly pledges their love to the listener.

I watch it nearly every day. It cheers me up. The original was from 'The Animals' = Eric Burton and Alan Price. Both very talented musicians. They were my favourite 1960s group from my area = Newcastle Upon Tyne.
