Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

[Verse 1]
Baby, you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

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

[Verse 2]
You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And then, sometimes, again it seems that all I have is worry
And then, you're bound to see my other side

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

[Bridge]
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I get my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you
Oh, baby, you know I'm just human
You know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes, I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done

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

[Outro]
Misunderstood, yeah
No, no, please, no
Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
