Baby you understand me now

Sometimes you see I'm mad

Don't you know that no one can always be an angel

Everything goes wrong you seem so bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood

Understand me understand me

Baby sometimes I'm so carefree

With a joy that's hard to hide

Sometimes it seems again that all I have do is worry

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

I never mean to take it out on you

Life has it's problems and I get my share

That's one thing I never meant to do

Now baby

I'm only you but I've got faults like anyone

Sometimes I find myself long regretting

Some little foolish thing some simple thing I've done

Ah I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood

Understand me understand me

Understand me

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood
