Lyrics

Angel divine
With you by my side
I can do anything I want to
I'll sacrifice
For you I'd lay down my life
'Cause I was alone without you
We all need somebody
You know I need somebody
No one has to feel alone
We all need some love
You know I need your love
To break these chains around my soul
Only your love
Can free me
Only your love
Can ease me
Only your love
I need it
Only your love
Never let me go
Let me go
Never let me go
Let me go
Never let me go
Let me go
Never let me go
Let me go
Heat of the flame
That burns in your name
Got to got to got to believe it
Angel of love
Descend from above
Come on and shine your light on me
We all need somebody
You know I need somebody
No one has to feel alone
We all need some love
You know I need your love
To break these chains around my soul
We all need somebody
You know I need somebody
No one has to feel alone
We all need some love
You know I need your love
To break these chains around my soul
 Only your love
Can free me
Only your love
Can ease me
Only your love I need it
Only your love
Never let me go Let me go
Never let me go Let me go
Never let me go Let me go
Never let me go Let me go
It's like a magic
I've got to have it
Whatever lies out of reach of me
And to despise it
Just magnifies it
Can't obliterate the need
You're bad news disguised
Dressed and painted with lies
But I just can't see (But I just can't see)
When truth is concealed
How the danger appeals
But my conscience sees
I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
He's no good for you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said Heaven must have sent you
But the Devil's gonna get you
He's gonna do it for you
You're like a black cat
Who always knows that
Its life is a mystery
You mesmerize me
And then you hypnotize me
'Til obsession devours me
Your silky words soothe me
As they move me
To ecstasy (To ecstasy)
And just as I'm falling I hear a voice calling
I don't believe
I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
He's no good for you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said Heaven must have sent you
But the Devil's gonna get you
He's gonna do it for you
You're bad news disguised
Dressed and painted with lies
But I just can't see
When truth is concealed
How the danger appeals
But my conscience sees
I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
He's no good for you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said Heaven must have sent you
But the Devil's gonna get you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
He's no good for you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said Heaven must have sent you
But the Devil's gonna get you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
He's no good for you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said Heaven must have sent you
But the Devil's gonna get you
He's gonna do it for you
Hey yeah yeah
I was walking down the street (doo waddy wah)
When this boy started following me (oh yeah)
Now I ignored all the things he said (doo wady wah)
He moved me in every way
With his collar unbuttononed
On my side he was strut'n'
He was really saying something (saying something)
Really saying something (saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah
Bop bop shoo be doo wah
He flirted every step of the way (doo waddy wah)
I could hear every word he'd say (oh yeah)
My resistance was getting low (doo waddy wah)
And my feelings started to show
My heart started thumping
Blood pressure jumping
He was really saying something (saying something)
Really saying something (saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah
Bop bop shoo be doo wah
He walked me to my door (doo waddy wah)
I agreed to see him once more (oh yeah)
Lady like it may not be (doo waddy wah)
But he moved me tremendously
Although he was bold
My heart he stole
He was really saying something (saying something)
Really saying something (saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah
Bop bop shoo be doo wah
