Baby, you understand me now? If sometimes you see that I'm mad Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong, you see some bad But oh, 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 Oh, 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 mean to take it out on you Life has its problems And I get more than my share But that's me 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 Don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard so please don't let me be misunderstood No, no, no, please
