Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
But sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Don't you know I have thoughts like any one?
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
I don't mean it
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I have done
But that's one thing I never mean to do
You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
And sometimes seems that all I have is worry
Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
That I never mean to take it out on you
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just someone whose intentions are good
People, don't you know I'm only human?
And then you're bound to see my other side
With a joy that's hard to hide
When things go wrong, I seem a little sad
Life has its problems and I get more than my share
Some little thing, some foolish thing
