Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't ya know 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

Baby sometimes baby I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes again it seems 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

If I seem edgy
Want you to know
I never ment to take it out on you
Life has its problems
I've got my my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do

Baby
I'm only 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
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
