Baby, do you understand me now

Sometimes I feel a little mad

Well, 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've 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 feel myself alone and regretting

Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I′ve done

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don′t let me be misunderstood

Oh Lord, don't let me be misunderstood

Don't let me be

Don′t let me be misunderstood

Oh, come to me baby

Esmeralda, oh, come on, baby

You′re so sweet, but sweet

Esmeralda babe, I love you

Oh, don't play with me, baby

Come on, come to me

Esmeralda, oh baby, oh, please

Oh, my sweet baby

My sweet Esmeralda

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

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

That′s one thing I never meant to do

'Cause I love you

Oh baby, don′t you know I'm human?

And I′ve got thoughts like any other man

And sometimes, I feel myself alone and 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
