Lyrics

B.benjamin/s.marcus/c.cadwell

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 I seem to be mad

(Chorus)
Cos 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 never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I got 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 faults just like any other man
And sometimes I feel myself alone regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

Chorus

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 seem edgy I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I got 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 faults just like any other man
Sometimes I feel myself alone regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

Chorus x 3
