Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

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 seem to be bad



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 meant to take it out on you

Life has it's problems

And I got my share

And that's one thing I never meant to do

'Cause I love you



Baby, don't you know I'm just human

And I've got thoughts like any other one

And sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting

Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done



But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood



Oh Lord, don't let me be misunderstood

Please don't let me be misunderstood



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 seem to be bad



'Cause 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



'Cause 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 meant to take it out on you

Life has it's problems

And I got my share

And that's one thing I never meant to do

'Cause I love you



Oh, baby, don't you know I'm human

I have thoughts like any other one

And sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting

Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done



'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
