Intro (w/harmonica):
D A D A G A D G D A D
Yeah I said "MDomma he's crazy and he scaAres me
But I wDant him by my sidAe
Though he's wiGld and he's bAad and sDometimes just plain mGad
I neDed him to keAep me satisfiDed"
I said "Papa don't cry cause it's alright
And I see you in some of his ways
Though he might not give me the love that you wanted
I'll love him the rest of my days"
MGisguided angel hangin ovAer me
HGeart like a Gabriel, pure and whiAte as ivoDry
SGoul like a LuAcifer, black and colDd like a piece of Glead
MDisguided aAngel, love you tDill I'm dead
I said "Brother speak to me of passion
You said never to settle for nothin less
Well it's in the way he walks, it's in the way he talks
His smile, his anger, and his kisses"
Yeah I said "Sister don't you understand?
He's all I ever wanted in a man
I'm tired of sittin round the t.v. every night
Hoping I'm finding a Mister Right"
Misguided angel hangin over me
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece a lead
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead
He says "BDaby don't listen to wAhat they say
There comGes a time when yAou'll have to brDeak away"
He says "BGaby there are thiAngs we all clDing to all our lGives
It's tDime to let them gAo and becDome my wife"
MisDguided angel hangin oAver me
HeDart like a Gabriel, pure and whAite as ivory
SoGul like a LucifeAr, black and colDd like a piece of lGead
 (a capella)
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead
