Baby do you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong you see some badWell I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstoodYa know sometimes baby I'm so carefree with a joy that's hard to hide Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry And then you burn to see my other sideBut I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstoodIf 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 doCause 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 foolish thing some simple thing that I've doneI'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstoodI try so hard So don't let me be misunderstood |

My arms are long My hair is woolly My back is strong Strong enough to take the pain inflicted again and again What do they call me My name is AUNT SARAH My name is Aunt SarahMy skin is yellow My hair is long Between two worlds I do belong My father was rich and white He forced my mother late one night What do they call me My name is SAFFRONIA My name is SaffroniaMy skin is tan My hair is fine My hips invite you my mouth like wine Whose little girl am I? Anyone who has money to buy What do they call me My name is SWEET THING My name is Sweet ThingMy skin is brown my manner is tough I'll kill the first mother I see my life has been too rough I'm awfully bitter these days because my parents were slaves What do they call me My name is PEACHES |

Love me love me love me
Say you do Let me fly away with you For my love is like the wind And wild is the windGive me more than one caress Satisfy this hungriness Let the wind blow through your heart For wild is the windYou... touch me... I hear the sound of mandolins You... kiss me... With your kiss my life begins You're spring to me All things to meDon't you know you're life itself Like a leaf clings to a tree Oh my darling, cling to me For we're creatures of the wind And wild is the wind So wild is the windWild is the wind Wild is the wind |
