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