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