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 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.
