Lyrics: Bennie Benjamin/Horace Ott/Sol Marcus
Music: Bennie Benjamin/Horace Ott/Sol Marcus
Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood
Ah ah ah
Don't let me be misunderstood
Ah ah ah
Don't let me be misunderstood
You know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
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
Ah ah ah
Don't let me be misunderstood
Ah ah ah
Don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems
And I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you
Oh oh
Baby I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone does
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood
