Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Don't you know that no one
alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong
it seems so bad
I'm just a soul
whose 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
all I do is worry
and then I show my other side
'Cause 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'd never mean
to take it out on you
Life has its problems
and I get my share
that's one thing
that I never mean to do
'Cause I love you
<Interlude>
'Cause 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'd never mean
to take it out on you
Life has its problems
and I get my share
and that's one thing
I never mean to do
'Cause I love
Oh baby, don't you know
I'm human
and have thoughts like
any other one
And sometimes
I find myself alone regrettin'
some foolish things
that I have done
'Cause I'm just a soul
whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me
be misunderstood
'Cause I'm just a soul
whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me
be misunderstood
No, no, no, misunderstood
Oh yeah, yeah, don't let me
be misunderstood
Please don't let me
be misunderstood
