Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Baby, do you understand me now?

Sometimes I feel a little mad

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

When things go wrong, it seems so 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 all I do is worry

And then I show 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'd never mean to take it out on you

Life has its problems and I get my share

That's one thing that I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

'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'd 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

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

And have thoughts like any other one

And sometimes I find myself alone

Regrettin' some foolish things that I have done

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

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

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

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

No, no, no, misunderstood

Oh yeah, yeah, don't let me be misunderstood

Please don't let me be misunderstood
