Elvis Costello - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Lyrics
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus x3]

Elvis Costello Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Comments
The vocals are up there with Eric Burdon....Awesome version of this classic
Throaty Costello
if your eyes are crying for me...baby I never said goodbye..otherwise I am such a fool...I have no other love but you..
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
But 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 do is worry
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
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
The Animals kill this song. like that version better.
Such a scrape of the animals. He butchered the song as well. Please end this video
Composição da grande artista Nina Simone
Two icons named Elvis ... only this one stands head and shoulders above the rest ... 😎 ... Armed (Music) Forces forever ...
Great track on a very good album.
this version was excellent
This is horrible. Visual effects where horrible. There was no reason to add visual effects. Eric Burdon did such a great job. The visual effects were horrible. Why are you restrained to such a limited community.
I was 13 back then and asked my father to buy me King of America. Still have the album and the admiration for this man.
He's the reincarnation of a better Lennon.
No Mercy's version of this song is hundred times better.
Shoot the camera man.
Thank God for Jimmie Lee Keltner.......
one of my most beloved artists in the world
The most beloved one for me❣
I am an Elvis mania❣
Another english song with Marimba to my collection.
Nice version, and I always liked this video. Cait O'Riordan, looking good.
His then wife on bass
Hear and feel the Music !!! 🎤🎧🎷🎸🎹🎛
The wood Xylophone is just the right touch to make this so memorable.
Elvis AIN'T DEAD! :-)
This man and group are the best ever!!!
oh please dont let me be misunderstood
Knobhead
Goooooooodddd.......
One indicator of a great artist is the ability to turn in a definitive rendition of a popular standard like this without meaning to do anything more than full album space. The strained vulnerability of his vocal performance here renders a toss-off into an essential interpretation.
stoogefest16 fuck off. This is an Animals knock off and the Animals version is shit. None of the covers come close to Nina.
The Animals version is damn good-so shut up!
The best interpretation of this song in my opinion is the group The Animals, the best of the best.
"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a song written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Sol Marcus for the jazz singer and pianist Nina Simone, and released in 1964 but with little chart success.
At last, I find this cover.
he nailed it, it's better than the Animals version
captain bizarro
Just such a great version of this classic. Elvis rocks it.
Talkin' bout a rendition that's true to the spirit of the song..this 's got to be the definitive. *deep bow*
Incredible!
get a Tom Waits vibe from the upright bass/marimba/Elvis' hat
Who is the bass player, love her playing and looks?
His former wife, Cait O'Riordan
Recording:
Jerry Scheff, bass, Michael Blair, marimba, Jim Keltner, drums, Mitchell Froom, Hammond organ, T Bone Burnett, electric guitar.
This sounds really good!
Laryngitis didn't hurt him none for this track...great rendition with tattered edge vocals = win
god I love his voice
I just love this
와... 진짜 내가 본 것들 중에 역대급으로 노래 못 부른다.
I'm really happy that Vevo decided to upload all of these Elvis Costellos videos! it's great!
Mi temón del mes! Temón, no se que dice pero temón!
