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
