Angela
José Feliciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I mad you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,

I was feeling insecure,
You night not love me any more,

I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide,




I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.
