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