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