Lyrics

Baby can you understand me now

Sometimes I feel a little mad

Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel

When things go wrong I seem to be mad


(Chorus)

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

Other times it seems that all I have to do is worry

And then I know you're bound to see my other side


Chorus

If I get edgy I want you to know

That I never mean to take it out on you

Life has its problems and I get my share

But that is one thing I would never do 'cause I love you

Oh don't you know I'm human

I've got my faults just like anyone

Sometimes I lie awake long regretting

Some foolish thing, some sinful thing I've done


Chorus x 3
