I saw her first
She came around
The day my angel came to town

This is just a love song
Her shine was white she rode the light
She let her wings go where they might

'Cos she looked to be a wild one

She just got in my car and said

"Boy drive me to wherever you want"

All I want is an angel

Then I know she will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel
One like you

Like you

We drove all day we didn't stop

Along the way until the top
Of the cliff by the sea
She played her tapes of Afghan Whigs

'Cos that's the rock and roll she digs
It was all a fantasy


And when the night tumbled down on us
her name was tattooed over ny heart


All I want is an angel
Then I know she will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel

One like you
Like you


The moon was high and so was I
'Cos I was drowning in her eyes
And while the waves crashed to the shore

I would politely ask for more
I didn't even know her name
But frankly that was all the same

Because I just could not believe
That this was happening to me
All I want is an angel

I can hold on a leach
Who will do what I please
All I want is an angel

Just for me
For me
All I want is an angel

Then I know she will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel
One like you

Like you
