[Verse 1: Gregory Porter]
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know that no one can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understand me, understand me
[Verse 2: Jamie Cullum]
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Verse 3: Gregory Porter & Jamie Cullum]
If I seem edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Now baby I'm only human
I've got faults like anyone
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish thing some simple thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understand me, understand me
Understand me
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
