Baby, do you understand me now? Sometimes I feel a little mad But don't you know that no one alive Can always be an angel When things go wrong, I seem to be 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 that All I have do is worry And then you're 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 mean 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 Because I love you Oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human I have faults like any other one Sometimes I find myself alone and 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 Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
