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
