Angel
Angel, baby you make my dreams come true
Angel, spend my whole life pleasing you
Angel, maybe you are the one for me
Angel, girl let's set my lovin' free
(My loving free)
You know you're sweeter than sugar and spice
Baby you are for me another dream come true
I want to spend my whole life loving only you
There are so many things that we can do
Just can't get a chance to prove it all to you
Angel, baby you make my dreams come true
Angel, spend my whole life pleasing you
Angel, maybe you are the one for me
Angel, girl let's set my lovin' free
Every day girl when I come home from school
I can hardly wait to talk to you
Nobody can ever take your love from me
I really love you girl
And that's the way it's got to be
There are so many places we can go
Let's see a movie at the picture show
