Lyrics: Marcus Sol/Bennie Benjamin/Gloria Caldwell
Music: Marcus Sol/Bennie Benjamin
Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes, I feel a little bad
Don't you know no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things get bad, I seem a little mad
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 all I have to do is to worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I get wordy, I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With such a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes all I have, all I have to do 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 wordy, I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I've got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Oh, baby, I'm so human
I got my thoughts like any other one
Sometimes all I have to do is to worry
And then you've finally seen my one desire
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
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood (Baby)
Don't let me be misunderstood (Misunderstand me baby)
Don't let me be misunderstood (Don't misunderstand me baby)
Don't let me be misunderstood (I'm just soul)
Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood (I'm just a soul, yeah)
Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
