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

but 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 meant to do

because i love you

oh

oh baby don't you know i'm human

have thoughts like any other one

sometimes i find myself long 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

yes

i'm just a soul whose intentions are good

oh lord

please don't let me be misunderstood

yes

i'm just a soul whose intentions are good

oh lord

please don't let me be misunderstood

yes

i'm just a soul whose intentions are good

oh lord

please don't let me be misunderstood.
