Baby you understand me now
  If sometimes you see I'm mad
  Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
  When everything goes wrong you see some bad
  
  Well 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
  Then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
  And then you burn 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 meant to take it out on you
  Life has its problems
  and I get more than my share
  but that's me one thing I never mean to do
  
  Cos I love you
  Oh baby
  I'm just human
  Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
  
  Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
  some little fooling thing
  some simple thing that I've done
  
  I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
  Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
  
  I try so hard
  So don't let me be misunderstood
