People, do you understand me now,
If sometimes I feel a little mad?
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
When things go wrong I seem a little sad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes it seems that all I have 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 edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
I don't mean it
People, don't you know I'm only human?
Don't you know I have faults like any one?
But sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little thing; some foolish thing that I have done,
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If sometimes I feel a little mad?
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
When things go wrong I seem a little sad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes it seems that all I have 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 edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
