Angel
Shaggy Lyrics

Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
You are the one I adore and cherish, my dear

Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
I hold you dearer than my closest friends

Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
You are my dear angel, my adorable darling

Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
You are always there for me when in need; you are a good friend

Life is one big party when you're still young
The youthful stage of life is a big celebration

But who's gonna have your back when it's all done
However, who will support you when times get tough?

It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
As you grow older, the fun and purity of life may fade

Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run
Therefore, you must not act foolishly; consider the future

Looking back Shorty always mention
I recall that you always remind me

Said me not giving her much attention
That I did not pay enough attention to you

She was there through my incarceration
However, you remained by my side through my time in jail

I wanna show the nation my appreciation
I want the world to know how grateful I am for you

You're a queen and so you should be treated
You are royalty and deserve royal treatment

Though you never get the lovin' that you needed
Despite the lack of the love that you deserved

Could have left, but I called and you heeded
You could have left, but you chose to stay after I called you

Begged and I pleaded, mission completed
I begged and pleaded, and finally achieved success

Mama said that I and I dissed the program
My mother said that I disregarded tradition

Not the type to mess around with her emotion
I am not the kind of person to play with someone's feelings

But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
However, the love I feel for you is tremendously powerful

Been together so long and this could never be wrong
We have been together for so many years and it must be right

Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I'm your savior
Despite my problematic behavior, you consider me your savior

(You must be sent from up above)
To me, you are divine and heaven-sent

And you appear to me so tender, say girl I surrender
You seem so gentle to me. I surrender, my dear.

(Thanks for giving me your love)
I am grateful for the love you have given me

Now life is one big party when you're still young
Life is a great celebration while you are still young

And who's gonna have your back when it's all done
But who will stand by you when everything is over?

It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Life is much more innocent and fun when you are young

Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run
You must be smart to ensure a successful future

Looking back Shorty always mention
Thinking back, you always reminded me

Said me not giving her much attention
That I neglected you

She was there through my incarceration
But you remained by my side while I was locked up

I wanna show the nation my appreciation
I want the world to know that I deeply appreciate you

Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
You are my beloved angel and dearest darling

Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
You are even closer to me than my closest friends, my love

Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
You are my cherished angel, my sweet darling

Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
You have been my loyal friend through thick and thin, my lady.
