Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

taken from John Legend, :solo sessions, vol. 1: live at the knitting factory

Baby, do you understand me now

And though sometimes you see that I am mad

No one can always be an angel

When everything goes wrong you'll see some bad

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Sometimes I'm so carefree

With a joy that's hard to hide

Most of the time I'm so full of 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

I never mean to take it out on you, no

Life has it's problems and I've got more than my share

And that's one thing I never want to do...'cause I love you baby

I'm just human

I have thoughts like any one

Sometimes I think I'll spend the rest of my life regretting

Some simple thing that I have done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
