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 feel real 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 sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry And then you're bound to see my other side. 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 my share, And that's one thing I never mean to do, 'Cause I love you, Oh, Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human. I have thoughts like any other one. Sometimes I find myself, Lord, 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.
