Angel Lyrics

[Chorus]
Still when I was cryin'
You were on my side
Little angel (Little angel)
You can come and see me here tonight
Little angel (Little angel)
Of course you're always more than welcome here
Still I'm needing somebody else again

[Verse]
Still another face (Oh)
Brightens up my place (Oh)
There is nothing much I want to do about it (Oh)
The way I fall without you (Oh)
The way I'm dull without you (Oh)
I split my skull, ah, for your love

[Bridge]
Everybody ought to be an angel (Ought to be an angel, ought to be an angel)

[Chorus]
Still when I was cryin' (Oh)
You were on my side
Little angel (Little angel)
I never thought that I'd be free and clear
Little angel (Little angel)
Except for you, I doubt that I'd be here
Still I'm needing somebody else again
[Outro]
I'm needing somebody else again

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 [?]
