Baby, can you understand me now?
Sometimes I get a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I feel to be bad
But 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
But sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
And I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I get edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life got its problems and I get my share
But that's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Oh, don't you know I'm human
I've got my faults just like in one

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
