Baby, you understand me now?

If sometimes you see that I'm mad

Don't you 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.

You 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 meant to take it out on all you

Life has its problems

And I get more than my share

But that's one thing I never mean to do.

Cause 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 foolish thing

Some simple thing that I've done.

Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood

I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood.
