Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You live your life in the songs you hear on the rock and roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends, that's a really nice place to go
Folks hoping you'd turn out cool, but they had to take you out of school
You're a little touched, you know?
Angie, baby
[Verse 2]
Lovers appear in your room each night and they whirl you across the floor
But they always seem to fade away when your daddy taps on your door
Angie, girl, are you alright? Tell the radio goodnight
All alone once more
Angie, baby
[Verse 3]
Angie, baby, you're a special lady
Living in a world of make believe
Well, maybe
[Verse 4]
Stopping at her house is a neighbor boy with evil on his mind
'Cause he's been peeking in Angie's room at night through her window blind
I see your folks have gone away, would you dance with me today?
I'll show you how to have a good time
Angie, baby
(Angie, baby, Angie, baby)
[Verse 5]
When he walks in her room, he feels confused, like he walked into a play
And the music's so loud, it spins him around till his soul has lost its way
And as she turns the volume down, he's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground, toward the radio, he's bound
Never to be found
[Verse 6]
The headlines read that a boy disappeared, and everyone thinks he died
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover who keeps her satisfied
It's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain
Radio by your side
Angie, baby
[Verse 7]
Angie, baby, you're a special lady
Living in a world of make believe
Well, maybe
Well, maybe (Angie, baby, Angie, baby)
Well, maybe (Angie, baby, Angie, baby)
(Angie, baby, Angie, baby)
(Angie, baby, Angie, baby)
