Yeah I said "Momma he's crazy and he scares me
But I want him by my side
Though he's wild and he's bad and 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 love 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 speak to me of passion
You said never to settle for anything less
Well it's in the way he walks, it's in the way he talks
His smile, his anger, and his kisses"

Yeah I said "Sister don't you understand?
He's all I ever wanted in a man
I'm tired of sittin round the t.v. every night
Hoping I'm finding a Mister 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 a lead
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

He says "Baby don't listen to what they say
 [bad word] a time when you'll have to break away"
He says "Baby there are things we all cling to all our lives
It's time to let them go and [bad word] 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
