[Verse 1: Gregory Porter]
Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know that no one can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong you see some bad

[Chorus: Gregory Porter]
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understand me, understand me

[Verse 2: Jamie Cullum]
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side

[Chorus: Gregory Porter & Jamie Cullum]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Verse 3: Gregory Porter & Jamie Cullum]
If I seem edgy I want you to know (want you to know)
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do oh oh
Now baby I'm only human
I've got faults like anyone
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish thing, some simple thing I've done
[Chorus: Gregory Porter & Jamie Cullum]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understand me, understand me
Understand me
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
