 LYRICS
**********
Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know that no one can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some 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 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 meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I've got my share
That's one thing I never meant to do
Now baby, I'm only human
And I've got thoughts like anyone
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some little foolish thing, some simple thing I've done
     I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
     (Understand me ...)
     I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

LYRICS

**********

Baby, do you understand me now?

Sometimes you see that I'm mad

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

When everything goes wrong you see some 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 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 meant to take it out on you

Life has its problems, and I've got my share

That's one thing I never meant to do

Now baby, I'm only human

And I've got thoughts like anyone

Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting

Some little foolish thing, some simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

(Understand me ...)

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
