Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
'Cause 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
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I got my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm human
And I've got thoughts like any other man
Sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be...
Don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
'Cause I'm just a soul who's 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
'Cause 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
That I've never meant to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I got my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm human
And I've got thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some little 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
