Angel With Tattoos Lyrics

[Intro]
Ohh, ohh

[Verse 1]
Well, your daddy don't care, he just wants to see you happy, yeah
And your sister don't mind, kind of think she even likes me, yeah
And to me it's so important your family supports our love
'Cause I kind of plan on starting a family of our own

[Pre-Chorus]
But your mama don't like me much, I wish she wouldn't judge
This book by its cover that's covered in dust
'Cause in between the pages is a tale of love so true
That my evil past has faded, and when it comes to you

[Chorus]
I'm just an angel with tattoos
I'm an angel with tattoos

[Verse 2]
I would never do you wrong even though I've done wrong before
And I don't blame her for trying to protect her baby boy
At least we got that much in common, we're always gonna put you first
You're the apple of her eye, you're the center of my universe

[Pre-Chorus]
But your mama don't like me much, I wish she wouldn't judge
This book by its cover that's covered in dust
'Cause in between the pages is a tale of love so true
That my evil past has faded, and when it comes to you
[Chorus]
I'm just an angel with tattoos (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh-oh (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

[Bridge]
Feels like I'm born again
Feels like I'm born again

[Pre-Chorus]
But your mama don't like me much, I wish she wouldn't judge
This book by its cover that's covered in dust
'Cause in between the pages is a tale of love so true
That my evil past has faded, and when it comes to you

[Chorus]
I'm just an angel with tattoos
Oh, I'm an angel with tattoos

[Outro]
I don't know
