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
