Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive can call me an angel
When things go wrong I feel real bad
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Music
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
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Music
If I seem edgy
I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing - some little simple thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Music
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
