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
Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
with a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes it seems again that all I have 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

I never meant to take it out on you
 
Life has its problems
 
and I get more than my share
 
but that's me one thing I never mean to do
 

Cos 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 fooling 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 try so hard
 
So don't let me be misunderstood
