Don't let me be misunderstood

Baby you understand me now

If sometimes you see that I am mad

Don't ya know no one alive can always be an angel?

When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree

With a joy that's hard to hide

And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry

And then 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

I never mean to take it out on you

Life has its problems

And I get more than my share

But that's one thing I never mean to do

Oh baby

I'm just human

Don't you know I have faults like anyone?

Sometimes I find myself alone regretting foolish things

Some simple things I've done

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please, please don't let me be misunderstood
