Sometimes I feel a little mad.
 But, don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel.
 When things go wrong I feel real bad.

 I'm just a soul whose intentions are good,
 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

 Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree,
 With a joy that's hard to hide.
 And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
 And 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,
 I want you to know,
 That I never mean to take it out on you.

 Life has its problems,
 And I get my share,
 And that's one thing I never mean to do,

 'Cause I love you,
 Oh,

 Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human.
 I have thoughts like any other one.
 Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting,
 Some foolish thing - some little simple thing I've done.

 I'm just a soul whose intentions are good,
 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
