When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
And that's one thing I never meant to do because I love you
Have thoughts like any other one
But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
And then you're bound to see my other side
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree with a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
That I never mean to take it out on you
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
Life has it's problems and I get my share
If I seem edgy I want you to know
Oh, oh oh baby don't you know I'm human
