Robben Ford - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Lyrics






Baby, do you understand me now, sometimes I feel a little mad
And don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
when things go wrong your bound to see the bad

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh no, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby sometimes I'm so carefree with a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes it seems all I have to do is worry
and then you're bound to see the other side
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh no, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem mean to you, I want you to know
that I never mean to take it out on you
'Cause life has it's problems and I get my share
and that's one thing that I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

Oh oh baby, don't you know I'm human
I have faults just like any other one
And sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
some foolish little sinful thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh no, please don't let me be misunderstood

    188k views? This song is so underrated

  10. L.... M....

    if ever there were a song about me both as my life and musically, it is this one.

    this song goes out to everyone I have ever known, especially my wife, family and friends.

    ...many great versions, but it's Robben Ford's most beautiful and CREATIVE (the thing I value the most musically) Guitar tones and textures. self taught but Robben Ford's record were all the guitar teachers around. The guy is a Genius.

    to me a Masterclass in Guitar Phrasing, Tone, Dynamics, Melody, Timing, the other big one to me that Dad taught me - - leaving space for the other musicians and also letting the notes have a life.

    The very first 3 notes may be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard and a masterclass in pitch bending, bending his first note to the right pitch musically, the subtle and perfect vibrato on the third note...and it sounds so beautiful and vocal-like - authentic. A master class in SOUL, timing and vibrato. Robben taught me that a clean, slightly over-driven guitar sounds the best. I love this track because it taught me how to properly bend strings to pitch as many guitar players under-bend.

    this song is bittersweet to me...the sad and frustrating lyrics are about me 100% but the music is one of the greatest things I ever studied, musically.

    that is the enigma for me, that I always have been and always will be so misunderstood. But perhaps that feeling is what gives the notes a life.

    this track by the one-of a kind and still one of my biggest guitar heroes Robben Ford may have what i would submit as the greatest guitar solo's of all-time, especially the second one at fade-out

    i have listened to this and will thousands of times...

  11. L.... M....

    what stupid 14 people left a thumbs down? no appreciation for one of a kind damn GENIUS.14 musically ignorant or musically simpleton people.

  12. a.... x....

    i think is: oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood, but that's ok!

  13. B.... L....

    Hope Robben Ford, who is far superior to Clapton, and Steve Winwood will band together!

  14. D.... O....

    Love this

  15. B.... L....

    Awesome outro !

  16. T.... C....

    Awesome..

  17. t.... ....

    Roscoe Beck is the MAN !

  18. W.... R....

    For Many Of Us Who Remember The Eric Burdon Vocal - Ford's Voice Is Too Reedy And Thin In Comparison - BUT Overall Arrangement And Quality Of The Playing Is Far Far Superior. .

  19. R.... C....

    Sonzaço, nesta versão do Robben. Valeu, Marquinhos!

  20. C.... J....

    There have been many a smoky nights listening to this song in college back a few decades. That solo is still the most soulful i've ever heard from the most sophisticated guitar player ever. Listen to the phrasing.

    A.... J....

    The most sophisticated guitar player ever? I think you need to widen your listening experience. I suggest you listen to some of the great jazz players.

    A.... J....

    This thing of "The most" it is just personal. Exist many and many guitarists splendid e the Roben is one of these. He is "The Guy"... superb sophisticatedly! In the moment that I listen to this music it is the best of the world. I like so much.
