[Verse 1]
Baby you understand me now
Sometimes you see I'm mad
No one can always be an angel
Sometimes you see some bad

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

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes I know is worry
Then bound to see my other side

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

[Bridge]
If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems
I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
[Interlude]
'Cause I love you
I'm only human
I have faults like anyone

Afraid I waste my life in worry
By some foolish thing I've said or done

[Chorus]
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
