Chorus
Girl you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me ,baby
Shorty you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl you are my friend when I’m in need ,lady
Verse 1
Life a one big party when you’re still young
But who’s gonna have your back when it all done
It’s all good when you live to have pure fun
Can’t be a fool son
What about the long run
Looking back shorty always a mention
Say me not giving her much attention
She was there through mi incarceration
Wanna show the nation
My appreciation
Chorus
Verse 2
You’re a queen and that’s how you should be treated
Though you never get the loving that you needed
Coulda left but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded
Mission completed
A no she that I and I a dis the program
Not the type to mess around with your emotions
But the feeling that I have for you are so strong
Been together so long
This could never be wrong.
Chorus
Bridge
Girl in-spite of my behavior , you’re my savior
Must be sent from up above
You appear to me so tender I surrender
Thanks for giving me your love. ( Repeat )
Repeat 1st verse & Chorus
