Nina Simone really was in a league of her own... I really love some of her performances... This song in particular has been one of my favourites for a while... At the end of the day, we all have good in us, and we all have bad in us. What it boils down to is our intentions and if they are good then we should always pray that God understands that and that we're not misunderstood by others, we should always give each other the benefit of the doubt too and assess all our actions and not just judge us from one, because that one action might be a mistake that we do actually regret or something we dont know is wrong and can't help... This song has also recently been used in the new J'adore perfume advert on tv, just incase you thought the lyrics sounded familiar!

----------------------------------- ------

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

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

Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
with a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
And then you burn 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 meant 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

Cos 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 fooling thing
some simple thing that I've done

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

I try so hard
So don't let me be misunderstood
