Baby you understand me now
if sometimes you see
that I'm mad
Doncha know that no one alive
can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong
you see some bad
Well I'm just a soul
whose intentions are good
Oh Lord please don't
let me be misunderstood
Ya know sometimes baby
I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes
it seems again
that all I have is worry
And then you burn
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 its problems
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
some simple thing
that I've done
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 try so hard
so please don't
let me be misunderstood
