Oh baby, you understand me now Sometimes I get a little mad But don't you know ain't nobody always an angel When things go wrong I might act bad I'm just somebody who's intentions are good Oh, I don't wanna be misunderstood Oh, sweet baby, sometimes I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide Sometimes it seems that all I've gotta do is worry Then you're bound to see my other side I'm just somebody 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 But life has its problems and I sure had my share And that's one thing I never meant to do 'Cause I love you so damn much Oh daddy, don't you know I'm human I've got thoughts like any other one But sometimes I find myself alone, regretting Some stupid little thing I might have done I'm just somebody who's intentions are good I don't wanna be misunderstood I don't wanna be misunderstood I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood I don't wanna be misunderstood My daddy always said, "Understanding is a thing" I don't wanna be misunderstood Don't let me be misunderstood
