Baby you understand me now

Sometimes you see I'm mad

No one can always be an angel

Sometimes you see some bad

Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Sometimes I'm so carefree

With a joy that's hard to hide

Sometimes I know is worry

Then bound to see my other side

'Cause 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

I never mean to take it out on you

Life has its problems

I get more than my share

But that's one thing I never mean to do

'Cause I love you

I'm only human

I have faults like anyone

Afraid I waste my life in worry

By some foolish thing I've said or 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

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
