Intro: People, do you understand me now, If sometimes I feel a little mad Don't you know no one alive can Always be an angel When things go wrong I seem a little sad But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good ) Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood You know sometimes, I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide Sometimes 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 That 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 I don't mean it People, don't you know I'm only human Don't you know I have faults like any one But sometimes I find myself alone regretting Some little thing; some foolish thing That I have done, But 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'm just someone whose intentions are good Don't let me be misunderstood, Don't let me be misunderstood . . .
