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 And everything goes wrong You seem sound bad But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Understand me Understand me Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide And sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry You're bound to see my other side But 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 meant to take it out on you Life has it's problems and I've got my share And that's one thing I never meant to do Now baby I'm only human I got thoughts like anyone Sometimes I find myself long regretting Some little foolish things Some simple thing I've done But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Understand me Understand me Understand me I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
