Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that Im mad
Dont you know, no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

But Im just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please, dont let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, baby, Im so carefree
With a joy thats hard to hide
And then sometimes, again, it seems that all I have is worry
And then youre bound to see my other side

But Im just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please dont let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never meant to take it out on all you
Life has its problems
And I get more than my share
But thats one thing I never mean to do

Cause I love you
Oh baby, Im just human
Dont you know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes, I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that Ive done

Cause Im just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please dont let me be misunderstood

I try so hard, dont let me be misunderstood
I try so hard, dont let me be misunderstood
