Don'T Let Me Be Misunderstood

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood I work up today, with a dark cloud hanging low over my head No smile in sight No Good Morning (in sweet tone) No Beaming spirit to inspire her smile Tongue sharp and harsh My good morning was dry and cold The shock in her eyes, broke my heart Her face painted with hurt and worry Feeling of guilt settle Good morning (in softer tone) I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood It’s been a long day The weight of the world seems to rest heavily on my shoulder Everything is wrong I am wrong Wrong body Wrong job Wrong life Got home moody No how is your day kiss to give No hug, no smile Just empty distance space Ice cold graveyard in a warm heated house How was work? Her worried tone soften me Another day done Voice in a failed attempted at a cheerier tone I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood There are days When I dance and sing in the rain Skip Hop, up and down the street You will mistake me for a much younger guy Worries out of my mind I pull her to dance to the music of our life Our joyful of life She laughing out aloud Calling me crazy I guess I am Crazy in love, Crazily happy to be alive My kisses are never far away Most days are like this But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
