When things go wrong, I seem to be 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 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, yeah Life has its problems and I get my share And that's one thing I never meant to do 'Cause I love you, oh Oh, oh, oh baby, don't you know that I'm human Have thoughts like any other one Sometimes I find myself alone and 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 I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
