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.
