Lyrics:

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But, don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I feel real bad

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

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

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you

Life has its problems
And I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do

'Cause I love you
Oh

Oh, baby - don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing - some simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Oh Lord, Lord
Oh Lord, oh
