I wanna show the nation my appreciation
Said me not giving her much attention
Could have left, but I called and you heeded
Takin' a beatin', mission completed
Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
And who's gonna have your back when it's all done
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Though you never get the lovin' that you needed
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run?
Been together so long and this could never be wrong
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
I wanna show the nation, my appreciation
Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you are my savior
Looking back Shorty always mention
(Thanks for giving me your love)
Life is one big party when you're still young
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
You're a queen and so you should be treated
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Now life is one big party when you're still young
She was there through my incarceration
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Not the type to mess around with your emotion
(You must be sent from up above)
Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I'm your savior
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
(You must be sent from up above)
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Said me not giving her much attention
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
And you appear to me so tender, well, girl I surrender
She was there through my incarceration
(Said thanks for giving me your love)
Looking back Shorty always mention
And you appear to me so tender, say girl I surrender
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run?
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
