Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Verse 3]
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
And that's one thing I never meant to do 'cause I love you
[Verse 4]
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 regrettin'
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
[Verse 5]
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Verse 6]
Oh, Lord, don't you let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be
Don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 7]
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
And that's one thing I never meant to do 'cause I love you
[Verse 8]
Baby, don't you know I'm just human?
And I've got thoughts like any other man
But sometimes I feel myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
[Verse 9]
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Verse 10]
Oh, Lord, don't you let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be
Don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 11]
Oh, come to me, baby
Esmeralda, come on, baby
You're so sweet, my sweet Esmeralda, babe
Esmeralda, baby, I love you
Oh, don't play with me, baby
Come on, come to me, Esmeralda
Oh, baby, oh, please
How I need you, baby
My sweet Esmeralda
[Verse 12]
Oh, Lord, don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be
Don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
