Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
No, no, no, misunderstood
Regrettin' some foolish things that I have done
Oh yeah, yeah, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
That's one thing that I never mean to do, 'cause I love you
And sometimes I find myself alone
And then I show my other side
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
When things go wrong, it seems so bad
That I'd never mean to take it out on you
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
And sometimes it seems all I do is worry
With a joy that's hard to hide
That I'd never mean to take it out on you
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh baby, don't you know I'm human
Life has its problems and I get my share
And have thoughts like any other one
Life has its problems and I get my share
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
And that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
