Lyrics

[Verse 1] Baby you understand me now If sometimes you see that I'm mad Doncha know no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong, you see some bad [Hook] But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood [Verse 2] Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide And then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry And then you're bound to see my other side [Hook] 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 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 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 [Hook] I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Don't let me be misunderstood I try so hard So please don't let me be misunderstood
