"Angel" Lyrics

Turin Brakes cover version from the Shaggy song

Girl you're my angel, you're my darlin angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, yeah yeah
Girl you're my angel, you're my darlin angel
Girl you're my friend when I'm in need, yeah yeah

Life is just one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you're little have pure fun
Can't be a fool son, what about the long run
Looking back Shorty always a mention
Say me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna tell the nation my appreciation

Girl you're my angel, you're my darlin angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, yeah yeah
Girl you're my angel, you're my darlin angel
Girl you're my friend when I'm in need, yeah yeah

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak with the prophecies of love

Girl you're my angel, you're my darlin angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, yeah yeah
Girl you're my angel, you're my darlin angel
Girl you're my friend when I'm in need, yeah yeah
