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, oh lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
