Don't

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 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

Don't let me be misunderstood

I'm just someone whose intentions are good

Don't let me be misunderstood
