When nothing goes my way
And late nights turn the days
I spend my life in and out of trouble
And everywhere I turn, I never seem to learn
Ending up my own words and me
I can't get by alone, I'm helpless on my own
When I'm desperated and I got nowhere to go

I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killing me and show me the light

I need an angel tonight

People I meet when I'm out there on the street
Open up the door to temptation
And everytime they try, it's hard up to get by
And find the straight to carry me through
You know there's a price to pay each time I lose my way
Now I need someone here by my side

I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killing me and show me the light

I need an angel tonight

To come and help me now
She gets me what I need
I got everything above me now

I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killing me and show me the light

I need an angel
Uhhh an angel
Talking about an angel
Dreaming about an angel
Ohh an angel tonight
Yeah, just an angel
Talking about an angel
