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
