Don’t let me be misunderstood

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Baby, can you understand me now
Sometimes I get a little mad
Don't you know no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to go bad

[Chorus]
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Short Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Yeah, baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that’s hard to hide
Yeah, another times it seems that all I ever have is worry
I know you're bound to see my other side

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Short Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
When if I get edgy, I want you to know
I never mean it take it out on you
Life has its problems, I get more than my share
There's one thing that I would never do

[Long Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Short Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
When if I get edgy, I want you to know
I never mean it take it out on you
Life has its problems, I get more than my share
There's one thing I would never do
’Cause I love you, oh

[Verse 5]
Oh, now, don’t you know I'm human
I’ve got my faults just like anyone
And sometimes I lie away alone regretting
Some foolish thing, some senseful thing I've done

[Chorus]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

I said, I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Outro Instrumental]
