Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
OST - Kill Bill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I've got my share
That's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've got thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I feel myself, oh lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh lord, don't you let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be
Don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, no, no...
[Instrumental]
Ohh...
Come to me baby
Esmeralda...
Ah, come on baby
You're so sweet
Mighty sweet
Come around me babe
Come around me, I love ya
Oh don't play with me baby
Come on, talk to me
Esmeralda
Oh baby
Oh please
Oh lord pleeaase babe
My sweet Esmeralda
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
'Cause 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 to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
'Cause 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 meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I've got my share
That's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Oh baby, don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I feel myself, oh lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Going back and watching the full scene again.. The setting, the actresses, the music, the fight.. It was all perfection.
@1958PonyBoy
I can't agree more. I thought it was as good of a scene as it gets.
@gasjebasje99
I just watched it the first time. It was really REALLY good, no regrets
@tarunprabhu2562
Mercy Charles at first glance maybe, but if you're gonna pay close attention to the fight, you realise how Lucy liu moved with such grace and made (to an extent) very sharp movement. There's a term called "unnecessary movement"
Just like how the shortest route between two places is a straight line. Notice how Asian martial arts movies usually involve fights like that.
Uma is definitely fit, she probably took classes and did a lot of training, but her fighting style looks unrefined as hell. No way someone would actually forge a sword for her with that. You'd think it's all a parody / gag something.

Remember the Bride had spent years in coma, she was supposed to have lost a lot of the skills she might have had before. Real fights are fast and short, so in a movie would be very disappointing to watch.

There's no one like the dude - not ever - I'm talking Quentin Tarantino.
The anointed one - wow -
@Maximus-hq1cz
My Mom took me to this movie when it came out, I will always remember how blown away I was from the genius of Quentin Tarantino.. That cinematic experience will always stay with me... One of my favorite films all time..
@Weskers_GF
I never fell in love with a movie before.
Then, I watched Kill Bill..
@JZjzred
Yes!!
