When nothin' goes my way
And late nights turn to days
I spent my life in and out of trouble
And everywhere I turn, I never seem to learn
Endin' up my own worst enemy
I can get by alone, I'm helpless on my own
When I'm desperate and I got nowhere to go
I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killin' me
And show me the light
Oh, I need an angel tonight
People like me when I'm out there on the street
Open up the door to temptation
And every time you try, it's harder to get by
And find the strength to carry me through
You know there's a price to pay
Each time I lose my way
Now I need someone here by my side
I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killin' me
And show me the light
Oh, I need an angel tonight
Come and help me now
Ooh, she gives me what I need
Like an angel above me now, hey
I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killin' me
And show me the light
Oh, I need an angel, ooh, an angel
Talkin' 'bout an angel, dreamin' 'bout an angel
Oh, an angel tonight, yeah, just an angel
Talkin' 'bout an angel
