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 seem to be bad But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 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 do is worry
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 That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share And that's one thing I never meant to do Because I love you

baby don't you know I'm human Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood   I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
