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 meant to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Now baby I'm only human
I got thoughts like anyone
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some little foolish things
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
