Darlin', don't you understand me now
Sometimes I get a little mad
Don' you know that no one on can always be an angel
When things go wrong I feel so bad.

Chorus:

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

Darlin', sometimes I'm so carefree
I got a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes it seems I'm bound to worry
And then you see my other side.

[Chorus]

If I seem edgy, I just want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you.
Life has its problems, and I know I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do.

Darlin', don't you know I'm only human
I have thoughts like any other one.
Sometimes I find myself so long for the regrettin'
Some foolish thing, some simple thing I've done.

[Chorus]
