Don’t let me be misunderstood

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 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 meant 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

Don’t let me be misunderstood,
I’m just someone whose intentions are good
Don’t let me be misunderstood,
Don’t let me be misunderstood……..
