Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When it seems things are finally goin' right
And even the sun is shinin' for you
And there ain't a cloud in sight
Life flies an arrow to your heart
Sailin' over your defenses
Breakin' your will apart
[Verse 2]
(Ooh) I need an angel on my shoulder
Somebody watchin' over
(Ooh)  Give me an angel on my shoulder
'Cause I need a win
[Verse 3]
So I pray
But each word feels so in vain
When joy keeps quiet as a whisper (Quiet as a whisper)
And bad luck falls like rain
When life shoots a bullet
Straight to your heart
Leavin' you open and defenseless
When did livin' become so hard?
[Verse 4]
(Ooh) I thought my losin' days were over
Oh, yes
(Ooh) But it seems I'm gettin' nowhere
Before I begin (Ooh)
[Verse 5]
(Ah) Oh, I need an angel on my shoulder
Somebody watchin' over
(Ooh) Give me an angel on my shoulder
'Cause I need a win (I need a win)
[Verse 6]
Yes, when life sends you right back to the start
And your skin a little thicker
Black and blue with scars
[Verse 7]
(Ooh) I thought my losin' streak were over
Whoa, yeah, yes
(Ooh) Know this player's goin' nowhere
There's no givin' in (Ooh)
[Verse 8]
(Ah) And I need an angel on my shoulder
Somebody watchin' over
(Ooh) Give me an angel on my shoulder
'Cause I need a win, yes
[Verse 9]
(Ooh) Whoa, whoa, whoa
(Ah) I need an angel on my shoulder
Somebody watchin' over
(Ooh) Give me an angel on my shoulder
'Cause I need a win (I need a win)
[Verse 10]
(Yes, I need a win)
Oh, I need a win
(I need a win)
(Yes, I need a win)
I need a win
(I need a win)
(Yes, I need a win)
I need a win
