Callin' angels
Daddy Was A Milkman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m so tired
Wanna come out
I've been hiding day and night out
What are they gonna think?
What is it they might say?
Don′t think I really care today

What's good enough?
You're the one to decide
There′s a bus with no driver, you′re free to ride
What are they gonna think?
What is it they might say?
I think you shouldn't care today

Callin′ out, callin' out
Callin′ out angels
Callin' out
Callin′ out, callin' out
Callin' out angels
Callin′ out
Callin′ out, callin' out

Callin′ out, callin' out
Callin′ out angels
Callin' out

I′m so tired
Wanna come out
I've been hiding day and night out
What are they gonna think?
What is it they might say?
Don't think I really care today

Callin′ out, callin′ out
Callin' out angels
Callin′ out
Callin' out, callin′ out




Callin' out angels
Callin′ out
