Misguided Angel by Cowboy Junkies

I said, "Mama, he's crazy and he scares me
But I want him by my side
Though he's wild and he's bad
He's sometimes just plain mad
I need him to keep me satisfied"

I said, "Papa, don't cry 'cause it's alright
And I see you in some of his ways
Though he might not give me the life that you wanted
I'll love him the rest of my days"

Misguided angel hangin' over me
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

I said, "Brother, you speak to me of passion
You said never to settle for nothing less
Well, it's in the way he walks
It's in the way he talks
His smile, his anger and his kisses"

I said, "Sister, don't you understand?
He's all I ever wanted in a man
I'm tired of sittin' around the TV every night
Hoping that I'm finding a Mr. Right"

Misguided angel hangin' over me
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

He says, "Baby, don't listen to what they say
There comes a time when you have to break away"
He says, "Baby there are things we all cling to all our life
It's time to let them go and become my wife"

Misguided angel hangin' over me
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead
