I said "Mama, he's crazy and he scares me But I want him by my side Though he's wild and he's bad And sometimes just plain mad I need him to keep me satisfied" I said "Papa, don't cry cause it's alright And I see you in some of his ways Though he might not give me the life that you wanted I'll love him the rest of my days" Misguided angel hangin' over me Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead I said "Brother, you speak to me of passion You said never to settle for nothing less Well, it's in the way he walks, It's in the way he talks His smile, his anger and his kisses" I said "Sister, don't you understand? He's all I ever wanted in a man I'm tired of sittin' around the T.V. every night Hoping I'm finding a Mr. Right" Misguided angel hangin' over me Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a Lucifer Black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead He says "Baby, don't listen to what they say There comes a time when you have to break away" He says "Baby there are things we all cling to all our life It's time to let them go and become my wife" Misguided angel hangin' over me Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a Lucifer Black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead
