Baby you understand me now If sometimes you see that I am mad Don't ya know no one alive 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 Ya 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 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 get more than my share But that's one thing I never mean to do Oh baby I'm just human Don't you know I have faults like anyone? Sometimes I find myself alone regretting foolish things Some simple things I've done But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please, please don't let me be misunderstood
