Baby you understand me now

If sometimes you see that I'm mad

Doncha know no one alive can always be an angel

When everything goes wrong

You see some bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh lord

Please don't let me be misunderstood

Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree

With a joy that's hard to hide

And then sometimes it seems again that all I have 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

I never mean to take it out on you

Life has its problems

And I get more than my share

But that's one thing I never mean to do

Caus' I love you

Oh baby

I'm just human

Don't you know I have faults like anyone

Sometimes I find myself alone regretting

Some little foolish thing

Some simple thing that I've done

Caus' I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh lord

Please don't let me be misunderstood

Don't let me be misunderstood

I try so hard

So please don't let me be misunderstood
