People,
do you understand me now?
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 am 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
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
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 thoughts like anyone?
But sometimes I find myself long 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.
