Fallen Angel lyrics

I must thank Lord
In my hour of need
I've given way to a better man
But I ain't been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
I've burned my bridges
And I'm satisfied

The preacher's due here
In an hour or so
To give me reasons for
The things I know
I might have been careless and I
I might have been blind
If I'm the guilty, I'm satisfied

Oh woman, why did you
Do me wrong?

Fallen angel ...

Everyone I see reminds me of you
I keep turnin' round
Expectin' you to be there
I keep seein' our past
Through my looking glass
But fallen angel
Where are you now

After all these years
I remember the tears
When we parted you said
Don't forget me
You were ridin' so high
Now they're passin' you by
Girl I've never forgot you
Please come and get me

Love, love, love
I'm looking for love
Love, love, love

When I was only sixteen
Well, give it take a year or more
I've got to singing about
The life I've lead
And I threw it right out of the door

I've got to get some of
That heavy jive
That the old folks are talkin' about
So I strutted my stuff
To the local club
To see what I was leaving now

Looking for love, love, love

Lady oh lady you're
Driving me crazy
You brought out the devil in me
You turned on my fire
With words of desire
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me

You're sending me reeling
With love that you're giving
Spinning my poor heart around
The feelings that should be
Have finally saved me
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me

Ain't no use in trying

Cheater, I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies
Can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go

I'm tired of chasing shadows
So lllusive in the night
And your empty words
That leave me high and dry
Now the curtain's finally fallen
On this fantasy affair
You've had me for the last time
With your lies

Cheater, you're a cheater

Falling keep on falling
I Keep on falling in love

Now I don't mind
All this running around
Seems I've been doing it
Most of my life
My music's been kind
But some days I find
It brings me two kinds of trouble
And three kinds of strife

So don't compare it
'Cause I just want to
Share it with some people
I like to call friends
There ain't nothing bad and
No need to feel sad

How strange when
You know the feeling
That something ain't right
You're fooled by the need of being
You're blind to the light
Don't ask where
The stranger leads you
He'll show you the way
Just go out and make your conquest
You've something to say

I'm alive, I'm alive and I'm me
I've just got to be free
I'm alive to the world

There's been so much
Bad time wasted

Whad'ya say ...

Lady you're tyin' me down
Turning my heart to stone
And I can't help feeling
I'd be better off
Back out in the streets alone

Baby you're hurtin' me
Deserting me again
I looked for your loyalty
And found a fickle friend

We could try to get back
On the right track baby
Or leave it, just throw it away
We could pick it up, pack it up
Make up or break up

You gotta make up your mind
'Cause you're running out of time
You know it's your game
And the winner takes all
It's time for you to realise
There's gonna be no compromise
It's gotta be love or nothing at all

It's gotta be love or nothing at all

I've thought about a new beginning
But you know your heart's not in it
There's something inside
That ain't hearing my call

Ride along lady woman of the night
Looking for a place to go
Dancing on storm clouds
Hiding from the light
Looking for an easy Joe
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground

Walking every side street
Kicking up the leaves
Running from the pouring rain
Standing on the corners
Shaking from the cold
Only got yourself to blame
You just wanna play around

Daddy, daddy, come and look, see what I have found
A little ways away from here, while digging in the ground
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture book, they had before the war

Daddy, daddy come and see, daddy, come and look
Where there's four orfive little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door

Save it, save it, save it all for me ...

Save it, save it
You've gotta save it all for me

Gonna take my heart and my soul
And lay it onto someone's daughter
Gonna give out all that I got
To the woman who sits by the water

Gonna spend the rest of my time
With the woman by the winding river
Gonna let her know
That I'll give her all
That I got forever and ever
