Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Joe Cocker

Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes just see that I'm mad
Don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong you feel so bad

Oh, but I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes again it seems all I have is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side

Hey, 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 mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
But that's one thing, I never mean to do, no
'Cause I love you, oh, I love you darlin'

Oh baby, I'm just human
Got my thoughts like anyone
But sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regrettin'
All the foolish things that I've done

Hey, but I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, don't let me be misunderstood

Oh yes, please don't
Oh yes, I need your love
Baby
