[Verse]
I know it's true
Only angels have wings
But they don't get to do
Any of the things we do
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
I know it's true
Only angels have wings
But they don't get to do
Any of the things we do
[Bridge]
'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)
[Chorus]
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
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
[Outro]
And I'm sorry he thinks more of my soul
Than he does my diamonds 'cause
