2x

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

 But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

2x

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

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 mean to do, cause I love you

 Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human

Have thoughts like any other one

Sometimes I find myself long regretting

Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done

 But 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
