LETRAThe AngelsMelissa Etheridge

Sometimes I feel
Like an innocent one
To deserve this fate
What have I ever done?
I know that I made all the rules
But time can even change
The hopeless ways of fools

I love you tonight
Like I did yesterday
I won't think of tomorrow
Or the price I pay
I drink from the well
My soul is dry
I never know why

All I want is
For your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
All I want is
Just a little peace of mind
But the angels won't have it
Oh... I thought I had a piece
Of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well
'Cause the angels won't have it

Who's looking after
This see-through heart
Someone up there
Isn't doing their part
Oh, Cupid, you foolish boy
You should take better aim
With your brand new toy

I love you tonight
Like I did yesterday
I don't think of tomorrow
Or the price I pay
I drink from the well
My soul is dry
I never know why

All I want is
For your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
All I want is
Just a little peace of mind
But the angels won't have it
Oh... I thought I had a piece
Of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well
'Cause the angels won't have it

So if I die
Before I wake
The innocent one
Whose heart could never break
Uh... lift me up
Take me out of this bed
Watching the angels
Shake their heads
Don't feel sorry for me, baby
Honey, don't you cry
You can sell all of my clothes
You will forget me by and by
I'll be riding that train
I'll be singing that song
But I won't be gone for long
'Cause the angels won't have it
Oh, oh, no

Oh, all I want is
For your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
Oh... I thought I had a piece
Of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well

All I want
All I want
All I want
Oh...
Won't have it
The angels won't have it
Ah
And I want
And I want
And I want
