if sometimes you see that I'm mad.
Don't you know that no one alive 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.
You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree
with a joy that's hard to hide.
And then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry,
and then you're bound to see my other side.
But 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 get more than my share;
but that's one thing I never mean to do
'cause I love you.
Oh baby, I'm just human.
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
some little foolish thing;
some simple thing that I've done.
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good;
oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
Don't let me be misunderstood.
I try so hard,
so don't let me be misunderstood.
