I don't claim to be an angel my life's been full of sin

But when I met you darling that all came to an end

Never doubt my love dear whatever you may do

I don't claim to be an angel but my love for you is true



You'll hear talk around town of things I used to do

Some will try to poison your mind that my love can't be true

Many nights I lay awake dear hoping our love will last

Wondering if your love is strong enough to forget about my past

I don't claim to be an angel...

[ steel ]

I never knew what real love was till you came along

You changed my outlook on life made me regret my wrongs

Why should my past keep haunting me all through the years

I paid for each mistake with millions of bitter tears

I don't claim to be an angel...
