Angel
Everlast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gon' find me a woman that's real
I'm gon' find me a woman that's strong
I'm gon' find me a woman that's oh so true
I got a pedestal to put her on

I found me a girl, she's sweet as good be
And everything in her world revolved all around me
I had a chance to make her mine but I was too blind to see
And now I got to let her go and pray she comes back to me

She's my angel, she's my lover, she's my very best friend
I hater her cause I love her so I hurt her again
Don't want no other lover, won't go through it again
She's my angel, she's my lover, she's my very best friend

I'm gon' find me a woman that's young
I'm gon' find me a woman that's pretty
I'm gon' find me a woman that swears I'm the one
And I'm a try not to treat her shitty

Girl I been drinkin' ever since you've been gone
And I been thinkin' maybe that I was wrong
You been holdin' out for way too long
I get this feeling you don't want to belong

She's my angel, she's my lover, she's my very best friend
I hater her cause I love her so I hurt her again
Don't want no other lover, won't go through it again
She's my angel, she's my lover, she's my very best friend

I'm gon' find me a woman that's tough
I'm gon' find me a woman that's loyal
I'm gon' find me a woman that say she got enough
And that's one I'm gonna spoilt

Well I've been waitin' such a very long time
My heart's gon' break girl if I don't make you mine
What's past is past, what's done I cannot rewind
All said and done girl, so you're one of a kind

She's my angel, she's my lover, she's my very best friend
I hater her cause I love her so I hurt her again
Don't want no other lover, won't go through it again
She's my angel, she's my lover, she's my very best friend

She's my angel, she's my lover, she's my very best friend
I hater her cause I love her so I hurt her again




Don't want no other lover, won't go through it again
She's my angel, she's my lover, she's my very best friend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Everlast's "Angel" describe the singer's search for his ideal woman. He wants someone who is real, strong, true, young, pretty, tough, and loyal. He also wants to treat her well, unlike his past mistakes with a girl who revolved her world around him. He laments his blindness to her worth and wishes to make amends, hoping she will come back to him. The woman in question is described as his angel, lover, and best friend, but the singer admits to hurting her in the past out of his love for her.


The song seems to be about the challenges of finding and keeping a fulfilling relationship. Despite the singer's specific criteria for his ideal woman, his experience with the previous girl has taught him that there's more to a successful relationship than just a list of desirable traits. He recognizes the value of his current love interest and regrets his previous actions, hoping for a fresh start with her.


Overall, "Angel" is a contemplative song that highlights the importance of finding a partner who complements and supports you, rather than simply fitting a preconceived checklist of qualities.

I love how people talk shit to each other about whether a song is "good" or not. It's music. some will love it, some will hate it. I love this song. I really like Everlast's music. So, for the haters, I will add this comment, so that they can do what they do and hate away...Everlast is a talented guy, and his music stirs my soul. 

@jamesross4544
