Baby, do you understand me now Sometimes I feel a little mad But don't you know that no one alive Can always be an angel When things go wrong I seem to be bad 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 And then again it seems that all I have do is worry And then you're 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 get edgy, I want you to know That I never mean to take it out on you Life has its problems, and I've got my share And that's one thing I never mean To do because I love you Oh, oh, baby don't you know that I'm human I have thoughts like any other one Sometimes I find myself long regretting Some foolish thing, some little Simple thing I've done I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood
