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, no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad.

[Chorus:]
But 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.

[Verse 3:]
If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never meant to take it out on all you
Life has its problems
And I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do.

[Bridge:]
Cause 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.

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

[Outro:]
I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood.
