Baby, do you understand me nowSometimes I feel a little madWell don't you know that no-one aliveCan always be an angelWhen things go wrong I seem to be bad
'Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are goodOh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy, I want you to knowThat I never mean to take it out on youLife has it's problems and I got my shareAnd that's one thing I never mean to do'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm humanAnd I've got thoughts like any other manSometimes I find myself alone and regrettingSome foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul who's intentions are goodOh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
