Angel came down,
from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me just long enough,
to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday;
about the sweet love,
between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said,"I'll come back again to see you
tomorrow"
And I said fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side
Sure enough,
this woman came home to me
Silver wings silhouetted against a child's
sunrise
And my angel,
she said unto me,
"Today is the day for you to rise"
Take my hand, you're gonna be my mind,
and she took me high over yonder
And I said fly on, my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side

Girl, you're looking fine tonight,
and every guy has got you in his sights
What you're doing with a clown like me,
is surely one of life's little mysteries
So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?
Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance,
never even got one second glance
Across a crowded room was close enough,
I could look but I could never touch
So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?
Don't anyone wake me,
if it's just a dream
'Cause she's the best thing,
that's ever happened to me
All you fellows, you can look all you like,
but this girl, you see, she's leavin' here with me
tonight
There's just one more thing that I have to
know,
if this is love why does it scare me so?
It must be something only you can see,
'cause girl I feel it when you look at me
So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?

Thinkin' bout the times you drove in my car
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far
And I'm thinkin' bout the love that you laid on my
table
I told you not to wander round in the dark
I told you bout the swans that they live in the
park
And I told you 'bout a kid now he's married to
Mable
Yes, I told you bout the life goes up &
down
Don't you notice how the wheel goes round?
And you better pick yourself up off the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
yes, before they bring the curtain down, whoooa
Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue
She cried away her life since she fell off the
cradle

I done run into my baby,
and finally found my old blue jeans
Well, I done ran into my baby,
and finally found my old blue jeans
I knew they was mine,
by the oil and the gasoline, yeah
If I ever get back my blue jeans,
well how happy could one man be?
I said, uh, if I ever get back my blue jeans,
well, how happy can one man be?
'Cause when I get back those blue jeans,
yeah, you know my baby,
will bring em home to me
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

She plays rough
She ain't ready
There ain't a thing,
in this world to prove
She's got a needle and a powder people,
to keep her steady
Life's gonna teach her a thing or two
Talk is cheap
So listen up
You're in too deep
Enough is enough
Bulletproof
It's bad news
You give up
Like it's nothing to lose
Bulletproof
It's no use
You better face the truth
You ain't bulletproof
In my mind
She's still smokin'
Life's too painful
She gets straight
No lie
I ain't jokin'
It's gonna hit you like a hurricane
Talk is cheap
It can't be worse
Keep it up
You're gonna leave in a hearse
Bulletproof
It's bad news
You give up
Like it's nothing to lose
Bulletproof
It's no use
You better face the truth
You ain't bulletproof
Look at the people
There's so much lust
You got everything
But still it's a bust
I see the sun
You see the rain
I see the hope
And you see the pain
Bulletproof
It's bad news
You give up
Like it's nothing to lose
Bulletproof
It's no use
You better face the truth
You ain't bulletproof

Well, I lost you at the border,
when you crossed it
Had your number, baby,
but I lost it
I know your love,
was just a flimflam
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
cause I'm a confidence man
I can talk old ladies,
out of all of their money
I can talk young girls,
into calling me honey
You can talk all you want, baby,
but I got fast hands
I know your mother
Taught you how to bake a pie,
and read a book
Your daddy
Taught you how to tell a lie,
and not get shook
Let me tell you somethin', baby
You better learn,
If you're gonna con the con man,
You're liable to get burned
Now, now, now,
We were stretched out on the floor, baby,
it's all elastic
But you stretched it too tight,
and it snapped like plastic,
and the pieces went flying across the badlands.
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.
Now, maybe Chicago,
is where you're bound
But love is a cheap perfume,
it hangs around
And you roll the dice,
now let the bet stand
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.

Well she's got to be a 20,
on a scale of 10
Walking on an edge,
that's razor thin
One in a million,
from her head to her toes
A hole in her heart,
as the next man's money goes
She's a cruel little number,
wild little weed
Momma's little princess,
daddy's bad seed
Mind of a maniac,
she's breaking all the rules
Cruel little number,
why do you have to be so cruel
She ain't tight with the ladies
She don't kiss and tell
She want a black Mercedes 500 SEL
She knows the scent of a dollar
Don't want a check in the mail
She blew the price of love
Right off the end of the scale
She's a cruel little number,
wild little weed
Momma's little princess,
daddy's bad seed
Mind of a maniac,
she's breaking all the rules
Cruel little number,
why do you have to be so cruel
Her heart can't be broken,
'cause it's stainless steel
You can beg, you can bargain,
but she's never going to cut you a deal
She's a cruel little number,
wild little weed
Momma's little princess,
daddy's bad seed
Mind of a maniac,
she's breaking all the rules
Cruel little number,
why do you have to be so cruel

Well, in case you haven't noticed,
the girl's in love with you
But you just seem to ignore her,
tell me what you tryin' to do
Instead of looking the other way,
you outta give her the eye
'Cause if she wants to love you,
don't let your chance go by
Well, now look at her, man,
she got blue eyes and long blonde hair
And you know pretty girls like that,
you just don't see everywhere
Yeah, start cashin' in on your good fortune,
boy
Go on and give her a try
'Cause if she wants to love you,
don't let your chance go by
Well, I've known you for a long time,
you know I don't give no jive
And I know she's got some loving,
that'll help keep you alive
If you turn that poor little girl down,
you're gonna make her cry
Because if she wants to love you,
don't let your chance go by
Yeah, if she wants to love you, don't let your
chance go by,
Whoa!
Yeah, she wants to love you, don't let your chance
go by
I say it again, don't let your chance go by
One more time!
Don't let your chance go by

I was born at midnight,
I was up running by dawn
Ain't nobody can stop me now,
'cause I was out the door and gone
Everybody knows you better,
try and keep outta my way
Because some people come and go,
but I'm evil and I'm here to stay
You know I can kill a man,
not even care
I can make love to you little girl,
till she just can't go nowhere
That's the way I live,
just fighting and lovin' day to day
You know some people come and go,
but I'm evil and I'm here to stay
Well get me a one way ticket,
on that road to hell
You ever try to cross me, man,
you ain't gonna live to tell
No, no you better listen to what I say
You know some people come and go,
but I'm evil and I'm here to stay
I said some people come and go,
but I'm evil and I'm here to stay
Well you better not try to cut me down,
'cause I'm evil and I'm here to stay
