The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby, do you understand 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
'Cause 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 got my share
That's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've got thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself, oh, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, Lord, don't you let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no
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
'Cause 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 that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
'Cause 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 got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself, oh, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
