["Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree","","Baby, do you understand me now?","If I seem edgy, I want you to know","And sometimes it seems all I do is worry","Regrettin' some foolish things that I have done","If I seem edgy, I want you to know","Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel","And that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love","Life has its problems and I get my share","With a joy that's hard to hide","Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood","","","'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good","That I'd never mean to take it out on you","Sometimes I feel a little mad","","'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good","Please don't let me be misunderstood","And sometimes I find myself alone","When things go wrong, it seems so bad","","","And have thoughts like any other one","Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood","Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood","'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good","","No, no, no, misunderstood","","Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood","I'm just a soul whose intentions are good","Life has its problems and I get my share","'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good","That's one thing that I never mean to do, 'cause I love you","That I'd never mean to take it out on you","","Oh yeah, yeah, don't let me be misunderstood","Oh baby, don't you know I'm human","And then I show my other side","","Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood"]
