What an Angel Ain’t Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've heard it in church, they're everywhere
I swear I thought I met one at the bar one night
Had a bracelet made of pearls and blonde hair
She took me up to heaven, then I saw the light, yeah
She said we'd fly forever can't believe how hard I fell
No, no, no, I never thought I'd go through hell

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause an angel ain't ever supposed to break your hеart
A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark
Lying likе a sinner, looking like a saint
I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

[Chorus]
Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't
Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone
Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain
At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
No matter what I do to get her gone
Her perfume and her memory still here in my bed
When I was running my hands through her long, long hair
I never thought her baby blues would turn to red
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, an angel ain't ever supposed to break your heart
A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark
Lying like a sinner, looking like a saint
I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

[Chorus]
Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't
Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone
Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain
At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
She said we'd fly forever can't believe how hard I fell
No, no, no, I never thought I'd go through hell

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause an angel ain't ever supposed to break your heart
A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark
Lying like a sinner, looking like a saint
I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

[Chorus]
Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't
Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone
Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain
At least now I know what an angel ain't
At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
