Don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, do you understand me nowSometimes I feel a little madBut don't you know that no one aliveCan always be an angelWhen things go wrong I seem to be badBut I'm just a soul whose intentions are goodOh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefreeWith a joy that's hard to hideAnd sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worryThen you're bound to see my other sideBut I'm just a soul whose intentions are goodOh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy I want you to knowThat I never mean to take it out on youLife has its problems and I get my shareAnd that's one thing I never meant to doBecause I love youOh, Oh baby don't you know I'm humanHave thoughts like any other oneSometimes I find myself long regrettingSome foolish thing, some little simple thing I've doneBut I'm just a soul whose intentions are goodOh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstoodYes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are goodOh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstoodYes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are goodOh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
