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
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
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
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
Oh, come to me, baby
Esmeralda
Come on, baby
You're so sweet
My sweet Esmeralda, babe
Help me, help me, I love you
Oh, don't play with me, baby
Come on, come to me
Esmeralda
Oh, baby
Oh, please
Oh, I need you, 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
And 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've 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?
I have thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I feel myself alone
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
