Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Ofln - The Animals Lyrics

Baby, can you understand me now?
Do you have the ability to comprehend my true intentions and emotions at this moment?

Sometimes I get a little mad
Occasionally, I experience anger or frustration

Don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel
It is important to recognize that no individual can constantly display perfect behavior or characteristics

When things go wrong, I seem to go bad
During unfavorable situations, I tend to display negative emotions or behaviors

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
I am merely an individual with genuine and positive motivations

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I sincerely hope that others do not misinterpret or misjudge my actions and intentions

Yeah, baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
At times, I am filled with a sense of freedom and joy

With a joy that's hard to hide
My happiness is evident and difficult to conceal

Yeah, and other times it seems that
However, on some occasions it appears that

All I ever have is worry
My predominant feeling is one of anxiety or concern

And then you're bound to see my other side
In such instances, you are likely to witness my less favorable qualities or behaviors

Well If I get edgy, I want you to know
In instances where I become irritable or tense, I hope you understand

I never mean to take it out on you
I never have the intention to direct my negative emotions towards you

Life has its problems, I get more than my share
Life presents challenges, and it often feels like I encounter a disproportionate amount

But there's one thing that I would never do
However, there is one action I would never engage in

'Cause I love you
Because my affection for you is genuine and strong

Oh, now don't you know I'm human
It is essential for you to understand that I am fallible as a human being

I got my faults just like anyone
Similar to anyone else, I possess flaws and imperfections

And sometimes I lie awake, alone, regretting
Occasionally, I find myself unable to sleep, consumed by regret and solitude

Some foolish thing, some sinful thing I've done
I lament over past foolish or morally wrong actions I have taken

I said, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
I emphasize once again that I am a person with honorable and genuine intentions

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I plea, dear Lord, for you to prevent others from misinterpreting my actions and intentions

Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Once more, I reiterate that my intentions are pure and virtuous

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I implore, dear Lord, to avoid any miscomprehension of my actions and motives
