Baby, you understand me now
Sometimes you see I'm a little mad
Don't you know no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things goes wrong
You're bound to see some bad

Oh, but I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes again it seems
All I have is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side

Hey, 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've got my share
But that's one thing I never meant to do, no
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you, darl'
Now baby, I'm just human
Got my faults like anyone else
But sometimes I find myself
All alone regretting
All the foolish things that I have done

Hey, but I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
