Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
don't you 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.
You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree,
with a joy that's hard to hide.
And then sometimes, again, it seems 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 meant to take it out on all you.
Life has its problems and I get more than my share,
but that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause 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.
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good,
oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood
