I used to like making love and then gettin' up and never havin' to explain
I've always been free I never could see me dragin' no ball and chain
I like running around and being tied down never was my cup of tea

But since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me
And I'm beginning to like just sittin' and holding hands
Looking into her eyes I'm thinking bout future plans
And then I get the feelin' that the life that I'd been leadin'
Ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me

I used like to spend the night sittin' on an old barstool
Drinking wine and killing time with all over those other fools
But since you took my hand I think I understand it ain't the way it out to be
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like...
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me
