Baby do you understand me now 

If sometimes you see that I'm mad 

Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel? 

When everything goes wrong I seem bad 



Well 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

Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry

And then you 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

That I never meant to take it out on you

Life has its problems

and I have my share

And that's me one thing I never wanna do



Baby

Don't you know I'm human

I have thoughts like any other one?



Oh when sometimes I find myself alone regretting 

Some little thing

Some simple thing I've done



I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood



But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Please don't let me be misunderstood
