Melissa Etheridge Lyrics

Album: Brave and Crazy

The Angels Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like an innocent one

 To deserve this fate what I have I ever done

 I know that I made all the rules

 But time can even change the hopeless ways of fools

 I love you tonight like I did yesterday

 I won't think of tomorrow or the price I pay

 I drink from the well my soul is dry

 I never know why

 

 All I want is for your love to be all mine

 But the angels won't have it

 All I want is just a little peace of mind

 But the angels won't have it

 I thought I had a piece of my soul left to sell

 I guess it's just as well

 'Cause the angels won't have it

 

 Who's looking after this see-through heart

 Someone up there isn't doing their part

 Oh Cupid you foolish boy

 You should take better aim with your brand new toy

 I love you tonight like I did yesterday

 I don't think of tomorrow or the price I pay

 I drink from the well my soul is dry

 I never know why

 

 All I want is for your love to be all mine

 But the angels won't have it

 All I want is just a little peace of mind

 But the angels won't have it

 I thought I had a piece of my soul left to sell

 I guess it's just as well

 'Cause the angels won't have it

 

 So if I die before I wake

 The innocent one whose heart could never break

 Lift me up take me out of this bed

 Watching the angels shake their heads

 Don't feel sorry for me baby honey don't you cry

 You can sell all of my clothes you will forget me by and by

 I'll be riding that train I'll be singing that song

 But I won't be gone for long

 'Cause the angels won't have it

 

 All I want is for your love to be all mine

 But the angels won't have it

 All I want is just a little peace of mind

 But the angels won't have it

 I thought I had a piece of my soul left to sell

 I guess it's just as well

 'Cause the angels won't have it
