I know it's true
Only angels have wings
But they don't get to do
Any of the things we do

And I'm sorry he thinks more of my soul
Than he does my diamonds 'cause
I'm no good, not even when I'm trying, trying

I know if I was an angel
I'd be begging them to cut the wings off me
Just so I could be here with you, darling
And maybe that's crazy of me but it's true

I know it's true
Only angels have wings
But they don't get to do
Any of the things we do

'Cause when I dream
It's you I see
(I'm sorry he thinks more of my soul
Than he does my diamonds 'cause)
'Cause when I dream
It's you I see
(I'm no good, not even when I'm trying)

If I was an angel
I'd be begging them to cut the wings off me
Just so I could be here with you, darling
Maybe that's crazy of me but it's true

If I was an angel
I'd be begging them to cut the wings off me
Just so I could be here with you, darling
Maybe that's crazy of me but it's true

And I'm sorry he thinks more of my soul
Than he does my diamonds 'cause
