[Verse 1] Baby, you understand me now? If sometimes you see that I'm mad Don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong, you see some bad [Chorus] But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood [Verse 2] You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree 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 [Chorus] But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood [Verse 3] If I seem edgy I want you to know I never meant to take it out on all you Life has its problems And I get more than my share But that's one thing I never mean to do [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood [Outro] I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood
