Some foolish thing, some sinful thing I've done
Oh, don't you know I'm human?

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
I've got my faults just like anyone
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Life has its problems and I get my share
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
But that is one thing I would never do 'cause I love you
And then I know you're bound to see my other side
Songwriters: Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell, Sol Marcus
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Other times it seems that all I have to do is worry
That I never mean to take it out on you
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Sometimes I feel a little mad
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
When things go wrong I seem to be mad
Baby, can you understand me now?
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes I lie awake long regretting
If I get edgy I want you to know
