Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
The Animals攀 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 feel real bad.
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
And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
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 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,
Oh, oh, 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
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Thank you for letting us know that this drama has no ending. I won’t waste my time watching a drama that’s incomplete and leaves me hanging. 😢

5:34 look at the mother's overnight-rotten face, I know it could never be smooth sailing for this couple for the rest of this drama.
@georgiaoung-pm5ly
The boyfriend has no backbone to stand up for his girlfriend.

@Darcus4mal
I’ve seen these two actors in other dramas which is why I wanted to watch this one. Unfortunately this one is incomplete and without an ending. I don’t recommend it unless you’re ok with just part of a drama.
@raymondlow393
Oh, thanks for the early warning, I shall just stop @ 5:35 and skip to some other videos. Just hate videos without a proper ending.
