"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"

Baby, you understand me now

If sometimes you see that I'm mad

Don't you know, 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 again it seems 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 mean 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-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

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 please don't let me be misunderstood
