Baby, you understand me now If sometimes you see that I'm mad Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong you see some bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide And then sometimes, again, it 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 I never meant to take it out on you Life has it's problems, and I get more than my share But that's one thing I never mean to do 'Cause I love you
Oh, baby, I'm just human Don't you know I have faults like anyone? Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some little foolish thing It's some simple thing that I've done
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood
