John Hiatt - Angel Lyrics
It is a hurtin thing you dont wanna talk about itPain in your heart well its takin your breath awayYou left it in lipstick on the mirror no use talkin about itLove like this just dont come along every dayChorus:Somebody just stop calling you angelSomebody just let love get up and go downtownSomebody just stop calling you angelAngel wings out in the snow and mascara running downThey called you tookie in high school, you didnt mind it too muchKind of nice to have a nickname, kind of like they thought about itYou wish that it stuck with you, didnt have to trade it in onSome crazy lovers pet name, wind up hurtin so muchChorusBridge:He peeled the skin off of the world and you stopped breathinYou drew a breath, he sighed, the air was freezinTwo blood-red hearts pumpin hard out in the openYou skinned your knee at kickballTwenty years ago against all hopinYall put that hammer down and drove through loves angel food cakeTastin every spongy layer and lickin frosting off the moonWild-eyed with excitement but childishly disappointedMaybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoonChorus
