On Wicked Ways, Lzzy sings about how she knows she is imperfect but makes her vulnerability beautiful. She knows she has yet to be saved which foreshadows themes in My Redemption, a song that is later on in the album. Lzzy knows she is “not an angel” which alludes to the band’s earlier track, I’m N...
[Intro]
Don't call me an angel
I'll always be sinful
It don't make me evil
But I got my wicked, got my wicked ways
[Verse 1]
I've been the liar, I've been the cheat
I've been the black heart, I've been the thief
Curse my name but I believe
We all play the sinner and the saint and the in-between
I need my devils, I let them rage
I keep my eyes wide open when I pray
I've been the villain to misbehavе
I like trouble coming in a hundred diffеrent ways
[Pre-Chorus]
And heaven knows that I'll never change
[Chorus]
So don't call me an angel
I'll always be sinful
It don't make me evil
But I got my wicked ways
I'll never be faithful
I'll always be tempted
It don't make me evil, I ain't evil
But I got my wicked, got my wicked ways
[Verse 2]
I've been the freak, I've disobeyed
Every single virtue that I ever praised
I get so high on feeling low
Love running with the sicker things
And sleeping with my ghosts
I burn a flame for every scar
I swore allegiance to the fire in my heart
That light's a darkness I will never betray
[Pre-Chorus]
And heaven knows that I'll never change (No)
[Chorus]
So don't call me an angel
I'll always be sinful
It don't make me evil
But I got my wicked ways
I'll never be faithful
I'll always be tempted
It don't make me evil, I ain't evil
But I got my wicked, got my wicked ways
Ah
I got my wicked ways
[Bridge]
Don't call me an angel
I'll always be sinful
It don't make me evil
But I got my wicked ways
But I got my wicked ways
[Chorus]
So don't call me an angel (Don't call me an angel)
I'll always be sinful (I'll always be sinful)
It don't make me evil, I ain't evil
But I got my wicked, got my wicked ways
But I got my wicked ways
And I'm never gonna change
It don't make me evil, I ain't evil
But I got my wicked, got my wicked ways
