Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (By Sol Marcus, Bennie Benjamin & Horace Ott, Performed By Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens 2006)

Original Version By The Animals, Written For Nina Simone

… Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

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

… You know sometimes, baby I'm so carefree
Oh, with a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you're 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 mean 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

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

… I try so hard so please don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, please
