Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know that no one
Can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
[Verse 2]
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understand me
Understand me
[Verse 3]
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side
[Verse 4]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Verse 5]
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
(Want you to know)
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I've got my share
That's one thing I never meant to do
[Verse 6]
Now, baby, I'm only human
And I've got thoughts like anyone
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some little foolish thing, some simple thing I've done
[Verse 7]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understand me
Understand me
[Verse 8]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
