Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't cha know 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 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 its 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 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
Don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard so please
don't let me be misunderstood
