People, do you understand me now?   Sometimes I feel a little mad   Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?   When things go wrong, I seem a little sad      But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good   Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood      You know sometimes, I'm so carefree   With a joy that's hard to hide   And sometimes seems that all I have 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 seem edgy, I want you to know   That I never mean to take it out on you   Life has its problems and I get more than my share   But that's one thing I never mean to do   I don't mean it      People, don't you know I'm only human?   Don't you know I have thoughts like any one?   But sometimes I find myself alone regretting   Some little thing, some foolish thing   That I have done      But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good   Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood   Don't let me be misunderstood      I'm just someone whose intentions are good   Don't let me be misunderstood   Don't let me be misunderstood
