Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood – The Animals

 


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 feel real bad.

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
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 whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

 

One of my favourite songs – perhaps because it is reasonably easy to sing.

 

The first version was in 1964 by Nina Simone.

 

But it is the Animals version the next year that resonates with me.  Don't these lads look so clean cut?
