Baby, do you understand me now,
Sometimes I feel a little mad.
But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel,
When things go wrong I seem to be bad.

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good,
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree,
With a joy that's hard to hide.
And sometimes it seems like all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side.

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

Baby, do you understand me now,
Sometimes I feel a little mad.
But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel,
When things go wrong I seem to be bad.

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good,
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

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