Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Baby you understand me now

If sometimes you see that I'm mad

Don't cha know no one alive can always be an angel?

When everything goes wrong you see some bad



But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood



Ya 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



But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood



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 more than my share

but that's one thing I never mean to do



Caus' I love you

Oh baby

I'm just human

Don't you know I have faults like anyone?



Sometimes I find myself alone regretting

some little foolish thing

some simple thing that I've done



Caus' I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood



Don't let me be misunderstood

I try so hard

So please don't let me be misunderstood
