Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Shahram Shabpareh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
with a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you burn 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 has its problems
and I get more than my share
but that's me one thing I never mean to do
Cause I love you
Oh baby
I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
some little foolish thing
some simple thing that I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard
So don't let me be misunderstood
In Shahram Shabpareh’s song “Don’t Let Me be Misunderstood,” the singer pleads for his loved one to understand him despite his occasional moments of anger and worry. He acknowledges that nobody can always be an angel and that when things go wrong, one might see some bad from him. However, he explains that his intentions are good and that he doesn’t want to be misunderstood. He emphasizes that he’s just human with faults like anyone else and never meant to take out any problems on his partner. He loves them and just wants to be understood.
The song's lyrics convey the message that people have both good and bad sides, and it's important to be understood for who they truly are. The singer is simply asking for empathy and understanding from his loved one, to accept him for all his flaws and recognize that he is just human. The repeated refrain of “Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood” is a prayer-like plea for acceptance and understanding.
Written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell, and Sol Marcus, “Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood” was originally recorded by Nina Simone in 1964. The song became an international hit and has since been covered by several other artists, including The Animals and Elvis Costello. The Animals' cover is the most popular version and it was released in 1965. The song was also featured in the soundtrack for the 2019 film “Joker”.
