Sometimes I get a little mad Don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel When things go wrong, I seem to go bad I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yeah, baby, sometimes I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide Yeah, and other times it seems that All I ever have is worry And then you're bound to see my other side Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Well If I get edgy, I want you to know I never mean to take it out on you Life has its problems, I get more than my share But there's one thing that I would never do 'Cause I love you I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood I said, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
