Baby, do you understand me now 
Sometimes you see that I´m mad 
Don´t you know that no one 
Can always be an angel 
And everything goes wrong 
You seem sound bad 
But I´m just a soul whose intentions are good 
Oh Lord, please don´t let me be misunderstood 
Understand me 
Understand me 

Baby, sometimes I´m so carefree 
With a joy that´s hard to hide 
And sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry 
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 it´s problems and I get my share 
And that´s one thing I never meant to do 

Now baby don´t you know I´m human 
Have thoughts like any other one 
Sometimes I find myself long regretting 
Some little foolish thing 
Some simple thing I´ve done 

But I m just a soul whose intentions are good 
Oh Lord, please don´t let me be misunderstood 
Understand me 
Understand me 
Understand me 

I´m just a soul whose intentions are good 

Oh Lord 
Please don´t let me be misunderstood
