I've had a connection to this song for as long as I can remember.
My whole life i've been this misunderstood person who people can't seem to decipher.

I have a bad reputation, but i've changed and I want others to see that I am healing, trying to better myself.
A lot of people tend to bark and snap at me to get attention or see me react, but I try not to. My friends know that I only tend to snarl and hiss when i'm getting beyond the point of control. Yes, it doesn't take much, but i'm trying to thicken my hide against aggressors.

I am a fighter at heart, I may have lost a lot of my physical strength and mental strength, but I plan to change that. I will continue to fight my demons as they come, I will never give in.

This is me saying, please don't misunderstand me, who I am. Don't judge me before you actually get to know me.

Despite rumours and gossip, I am NOT a bad person.

Baby, do 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, it seems so bad.

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 all I do is worry
And then I show 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'd never mean to take it out on you.
Life has its problems and I get my share
That's one thing that I never mean to do.
'Cause I love you.

'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'd never mean to take it out on you.
Life has its problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do.
'Cause I love.

Oh baby, don't you know I'm human
And have thoughts like any other one.
And sometimes I find myself alone
Regrettin' some foolish things that I have done.

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

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
No, no, no, misunderstood.
Oh yeah, yeah, don't let me be misunderstood.
Please don't let me be misunderstood.

(Gary Moore)
