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, you understand me now
If sometimes you see I'm mad
Don't you know 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
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
And then you 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
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
'Cause I love you
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, baby
I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
some little foolish thing
some simple thing that I've done
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard
So please, don't let me be misunderstood
