Nina Simone
My all time favorite... while on the road and having time off, lately, i've been listening to her, over and over, and of course, they are songs you may have already heard, but no one, NO ONE,
sings them like my girl Nina!!!!
These songs in particular,
COMPLETELY
relate to me and my character.
Read them, understand them, and find me.....
Baby, you understand me now
if sometimes you see that i'm mad
don't you know no one alive can always be an angel
when everything goes wrong you see some bad
but i'm just a sould who's intentions are good
Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood
you know someitmes baby i'm so carefree
with a joy that's hard to hide
and then sometimes again it seems that all i have is worry
and then you're bound to see my other side
but i'm just a sould who's intentions are good
Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood
if i seem edgy
i want you to know
i never mean to take it out on you
life has it's problems
and i get more than my share
and that's one thing i never mean to do
cuz i love you
oh baby i'm jus thoman
don't you know i have faults like anyone
someitmes if eel myself alone regretting some foolish things
some simple thing that i've done
refrain
don't let me be misuderstood
I try so hard to please , don't let me be mis...
Birds flyin high you know how i feel,
sunin the sky you know how i feel,
breeze driftin' on by, you know how i feel.....
its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me, yeah
its a new dawn, it's a new day it's a new life for me,
and i'm feelin good!!!
fish in the sea, you know how I feel,
river runnin' free.. you know how I feel,
blossom on the tree, you know how i feel,
it's a new dawn, its a new day, it's a new life for me,
and i'm feelin good!!!
dragonfly out in the sun, you know what i mean, don't you know?
butterflies all havin fun, you know what i mean....
sleep in peace when day is done, that's what i mean!
and this old world, is a new world, in a bold world for me.... yeah....
stars when you shine, you know how i feel,
scent of the pine you know how i feel
oh, freedome is mine! when i know how i feel!
its a new dawn! its a new day! it's a new life for me.....
AND I'M FEELIN' GOOD!!!!!!!!!
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case,
of which Im certain.
Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times,
Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all,
when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
-And did it my way!
