Baby, do you understand me now? 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 seem to be bad I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree 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 who's 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, 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 who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

A canção “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” foi escrita por Bennie Benjamin, Horace Ott e Sol Marcus originalmente para a cantora e pianista Nina Simone, que gravou a primeira versão em 1964 para o álbum *Broadway‑Blues‑Ballads*.
A versão dos The Animals, lançada em 1965 no álbum *Animal Tracks*, transformou a música em um sucesso transatlântico com arranjo de blues rock.
Em 1977, o grupo disco Santa Esmeralda regravou a canção em estilo “four‑on‑the‑floor”, também alcançando sucesso internacional.
A interpretação de Elvis Costello, lançada em 1986, conquistou boa posição nas paradas do Reino Unido e da Irlanda.
