Baby, you understand me now If sometimes you see that I'm mad Don't you know that no-one alive Can always be an angel When everything goes wrong you see some bad Oh I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree Oh, with a joy that's hard to hide Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worries And then you're bound to see my other side But I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood If I seem edgy, I want you to know I never mean to take it out on you Life has it's problems and I got my share That's one thing I never meant to do 'Cause I love you Oh, baby, know I'm just human You know I have my thoughts like anyone Sometimes I find myself alone regretting Some little foolish thing, simple thing I've done 'Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Misunderstood, yeah No, no please Lord, don't let me be misunderstood Don't let me be misunderstood
