Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Patrícia Candoso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If sometimes I feel little mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong I seem so bad
But I'm just a soul whose intensions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
You know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And then you 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
I never meant to take it out on you
Life had its problems
And I haven't my share
That's me one thing I never mean to do
Oh oh oh oh baby
I'm just human
Don't you know I have thoughts like any one?
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish things
And simple things I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intensions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
In Patrícia Candoso's song Don't let me be Misunderstood, the lyrics touch on the subject of the human condition, and how one can have good intentions, but still be misunderstood. The lyrics start by asking if the listener understands the singer, stating that even though they may seem angry or mad at times, it does not mean they are not a good person. The singer acknowledges that no one can always be an angel, and when things go wrong, they may come off as bad, but it is not their intention. The singer then asks the Lord not to let them be misunderstood, indicating that they have been misunderstood before, causing harm to themselves and possibly others.
The second verse speaks to the fact that the singer has both joyful and worrisome moments. They can be carefree and happy, but then have moments where all they feel is worry, exposing their vulnerable side. However, the singer again reminds the listener that their intentions are good, and they do not wish to be misunderstood. The third verse speaks to the fact that sometimes the singer may seem edgy, but they want the listener to know that they never intend to take it out on them. They have had their share of problems in life, and they never meant to harm anyone. The final verse speaks to the human condition, acknowledging that the singer is human, and has thoughts like everyone else. They have regretted some things they have done or said, but the listener should know that their intentions were good.
Overall, the song is a plea to not judge someone based solely on their actions or their demeanor but to try and understand their intentions. We all have good and bad moments, and we should try to see the good in people rather than just see them for their mistakes or their faults.
