[Verse 1]
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Drama queen
Preening and untangling
Feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperately, she sings
[Refrain]
Needy little baby
Open up your heart
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
[Verse 2]
Troubled little angel
Inconsistent flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be, yeah
Always rearranging the
Wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight
To the hope that she'll be free
[Refrain]
Needy little baby
Open up your eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby
Hiding deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal
[Bridge]
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, ah!
Wah, yeah, whoa, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Talking to you, angel
Angel
Deep inside of me
Talking to you, angel
Angel
One day you'll be free
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Deep inside of me (Inside), yeah (Inside)
Talking to you, angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
One day you'll be free
[Outro]
One day you'll open your wings up high
One day you'll fly
Ooh, ah, yeah-yeah
One day you'll fly

Angel was produced by James “Big Jim” Wright & Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

“Well, that’s a deep song, a song where I was feeling very human. And I thought I was representing most people. I’m reminding people that we are all angels in spite of our flaws and whatnot. And that there is hope.”
—Chaka Khan, St. Louis Post-Dispatch (June 15, 2014)
