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