Baby, can you understand me now?
Sometimes I get a little mad
Don't you know no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong, I feel real bad
Oh 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 other times it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
Oh 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's got its problems and I get my share
But that is one thing that I would never do
'Cause I love you
Oh, don't you know I'm human
I've got my faults just anyone
Ooh, 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
