I saw a street corner angel |
|
Platinum problems pressed against the wall |
|
She paid her dues, bought stiletto shoes |
|
Had a real mean pimp named |
|
PaulWell Paul tied her up to the railroad tracks' |
|
Cause he didn't get the money in time |
|
I heard her screamin' loud from the other side of town |
|
And the train was comin' down the line |
|
Exclamation points jumped out her eyes |
|
Rips all across her fishnet thighs |
|
Big tears rolling as |
|
I'm strugglin' to cut her loose |
|
She had a little bit of karma above her left eye |
|
It hit me in the shape of a scar |
|
I tried to help her out with the ride back home |
|
But she jumped right outta my car |
|
Baby, I just really wanna know you |
|
Can't keep me away, not if you try |
|
Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry |
|
I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me |
|
Well since that night |
|
I really thought about things |
|
I fell for an angel with the dirty wings |
|
Now I have to find her, let her know how |
|
I feelGotta tighten up some business before |
|
I make it real |
|
Paul didn't like that |
|
I pulled her off the tracks |
|
Real late last |
|
Saturday night |
|
I knew he was mad when |
|
I got to the pad' |
|
Cause he left me a real nice surprise |
|
Dropped a little message in my mailbox |
|
He told me where to meet him, that we had to talk |
|
He said I shouldn't mess with his curly locks |
|
And if I did again he'd pump me full of shots |
|
I took that meeting with the pimp named |
|
PaulStabbed him in the heart and watched him fall |
|
Went lookin' for my angel all over the place |
|
I found her in the movie by |
|
Andrew Blake |
|
Baby, I just really wanna know you |
|
Can't keep me away, not if you try |
|
Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry |
|
I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me |
