Lyrics:

Baby, you understand me now,
Though sometimes you see that I am mad,
No-one can always be an angel,
When everything goes wrong, youÂ’ll see some bad,

But IÂ’m just a soul, whoÂ’s intentions are good,
Oh lord, please donÂ’t let me be misunderstood,

Sometimes IÂ’m so care-free, with the joy thatÂ’s hard to hide,
Most of the time, IÂ’m so full of worries,
And then youÂ’re bound to see my other side,

But IÂ’m just a soul, whoÂ’s intentions are good,
Oh lord please donÂ’t let me be misunderstood,
DonÂ’t let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know,
I never mean to take it out on you, no,
Cos life has its problems,
And IÂ’ve got more than my share
ThatÂ’s one thing that I never wanna do,
Cos I love you baby
IÂ’m just human, I have faults like anyone,
Sometimes I think IÂ’ll spend the rest of my life regretting,
Some simple things that I have done,
Oh,

But IÂ’m just a soul, whoÂ’s intentions are good,
Oh lord please donÂ’t let me be misunderstood,
DonÂ’t let me be misunderstood
DonÂ’t let me be
DonÂ’t let me be misunderstood
DonÂ’t let me be
DonÂ’t let me be misunderstood
