Baby, do you understand me now If sometimes you see that I'm mad Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong I seem bad Well 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 Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry And then you 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 meant to take it out on you Life has its problems And I have my share And that's me one thing I never wanna do Baby Don't you know I'm human I have thoughts like any other one? Oh, when sometimes I find myself alone regretting Some little thing Some simple thing I've done I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood Please, don't let me be misunderstood
