Lyrics

Girl, you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend
When I'm in need, lady
Life is one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done (Yeah)
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run?
Looking back shorty always ah mention
Said me not giving her much attention (Yeah)
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation
Girl, you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend
When I'm in need, lady
You're a queen and that's how you should be treated (Ah)
Though you never get the lovin' that you needed (Yah)
Could have left, but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded, mission completed
Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with her emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long
And this could never be wrong
Girl, you're my angel
You're my darling angel (Ah)
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend
When I'm in need, lady baby
Girl, in spite of my behavior
Said I'm your savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender
Girl I surrender
(Thanks for giving me your love)
Girl, in spite of my behavior
Well, you ah mi savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender
Girl I surrender
(Said, thanks for giving me your love)
Girl, you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel
You're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend
When I'm in need, lady
You're my darling angel
You're my darling angel
You're my darling angel
