Lyrics

I’m stakin’ a claim to an angel
Stakin’ a claim to a dream
Playing my cards as straight as I can
Don’t ever want to make it seem
Like I’m sneakin’ around, peekin’ around,
Leakin’ out things that shouldn’t be leaked out’s what I mean

If you wanna keep an angel always by your side
The devil inside’s gotta come clean

I don’t know why she wants me
Don’t see what she sees
The thought of losing her haunts me
But she says that could never be
Now I’m wheelin’ about, reelin’ about,
Feeling just about as good as a man’s got a right to feel

If you wanna keep an angel always by your side
The devil inside’s gotta get real

I dressed my love in doubts
Leaving her to work things out
Surrounded by storm, she somehow held on
Teaching me what love’s about
Though broken apart, she gave me her heart, an angel’s heart.

I’m checking my watch on the subway
I see her watching me
A bit of small talk and “Have a nice day”
Rememberin’ to let it be
Now I’m turnin’ around, turnin’ ‘em down
Learning how to stand my ground in the name of fidelity
(And it ain’t easy!)

If you wanna keep an angel always by your side
The devil inside’s gotta come clean
If you wanna keep an angel always by your side
The devil inside’s gotta get real
