Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood


For babies, I'm a wonder brand just now -
Sometimes I've been a little fad:
Doncha know that none of my rivals ever seems a danger -
I kid along, and play the dad.
 (Chorus) It's just a poll but intentions look good:
 Oh gawd, please don't let me be misunderstood.

The ABs! somehow they're all for me:
I'm a boy that's full of pride -
Sometimes it seems that even voters down in Surrey
Are shifting round from the other side.......(Chorus)

If I am hedging, I want you to know
That I'm never seen to put a tax on you.
Schools have their problems, I know it's unfair
And that's something I'll be seeing to ('cause you love me) -
Oh oh oh maybe you think I'm a new man,
Make tortes, not like the other one -
Sometimes you'll find this Tony forgetting
Some ghoulish thing, some little nimble fib I've spun .......(Chorus)
