Our Little Angel

Lyrics

This is the place where I made my best mistakes
 This is the place even angels don't understand
 I've seen the disappointment in her face
 And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand
 She sits alone apart from the crowd
 In a white dress she wears like a question mark
 Friends speak of her fondly
 Enemies just think out loud
 You think you're man enough to please her
 And you're fool enough to start
 But you're not gonna do a thing to our little angel
 There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change
 Now the cabaret is frozen
 And the laughter comes in cans
 And the lonely hearts club clientele
 Don't know what to do with their hands
 You think that you'll be sweet to her but everybody knows
 That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes
 And you're not goinna do a thing to our little angel
 There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change
 So you mix your drinks and words
 You make bad jokes, you make bad time
 The floors are there to walk over
 The walls are there to climb
 You swear you'll never go back again once you're inside
 You're never the bridegroom she's always the bride
 You're not gonna do a thing to our little angel
 There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change
 You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger
 Well, you try to love her but she's so contrary
 Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary
 So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel
 You're not gonna do a thing
 You're not gonna do a thing
 You're not gonna do a thing to our little angel
