Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Lyrics - King Of America - Elvis Costello

Baby, can you understand me now? 

Sometimes I feel a little mad 

Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel? 

When things go wrong I seem to be mad 

I'm just a soul whose 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 

Other times it seems that all I have to do is worry 

And then I know 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 get 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 

But that is one thing I would never do 'cause I love you 

Oh, don't you know I'm human? 

I've got my faults just like anyone 

Sometimes I lie awake long regretting 

Some foolish thing, some sinful thing I've done 

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
