Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, do you understand me now?
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 seem to be bad
[Chorus]
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Bridge]
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 meant to do
Because I love you, oh
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human?
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes, I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
[Outro]
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
