I said "Mama, he's crazy and he scares me
  But I want him by my side
  though he's wild and he's bad
  and sometimes just plain mad
  I need him to keep me satisfied"
    I said "Papa, don't cry cause it's alright
  And I see you in some of his ways
  Though he might not give me the life that you wanted
  I'll love him the rest of my days"
    Misguided angel hangin' over me
  Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
  Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
  Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead
    I said "Brother, you speak to me of passion
  You said never to settle for nothing less
  Well, it's in the way he walks,
  it's in the way he talks
  His smile, his anger and his kisses"
    I said "Sister, don't you understand?
  He's all I ever wanted in a man
  I'm tired of sittin' around the T.V. every night
  Hoping I'm finding a Mr. Right"
    Misguided angel hangin' over me
  Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
  Soul like a Lucifer
  Black and cold like a piece of lead
  Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead
    He says "Baby, don't listen to what they say
  There comes a time when you have to break away"
  He says "Baby there are things we all cling to all our life
  It's time to let them go and become my wife"
    Misguided angel hangin' over me
  Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
  Soul like a Lucifer
  Black and cold like a piece of lead
  Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead
