Lyrics:

Baby, you understand me now
sometimes I feel a little mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes 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.
Sometimes it seems again that all I have 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,
I never meant 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
'cause I love you
Oh yeah
Oh baby, Don't you know I'm human.
Don't you know I have faults like anyone
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
some foolish 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
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord
Ohhoho...
Oh Lord
