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.
'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.
