"Angel" Lyrics

I've said it once and I'll say it again
I've got something hanging over my head
I was laying on your shoulder, perfectly content
Until you told me all over again

I ain't got no sob story to write
But just like everyone else I'm living this life
And you don't need to win me over
And there ain't no other side
To shelter me from, I'll belong where I decide

But you say we don't mess around
You've got no freedom to come down
We don't take angels from the sky
Oh, no we don't mess around
You're meant to be among the clouds
'Cause you're an angel
But that is a lie

Well I suppose you think I'm so flattered to hear
That I'm the whispered conscience in your ear
And that's exactly the reason that I'll never fit in here
Well nothing's ever that black and white my dear

Chorus:
I'm not your angel, darling
I'm not your angel, darling
I am never gonna be
I'm not your angel, darling
I'm not your angel, darling
I am never gonna be

We don't mess around
You've got no freedom to come down
We don't take angels from the sky
We don't mess around
You're meant to be among the clouds
'Cause you're an angel
But that is a lie
