Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see I'm mad
Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad

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

Baby sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you burn 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 get more than my share
That's me one thing I never mean to do
Cos I love you

Oh, oh, oh baby don't you know that I'm human
I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes I find myself alone regreting
Some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done

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