Girl you're my angel you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me baby
Shorty you're my angel you're my darling angel
Girl you're my friend when I'm in need lady
Life is one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you're little you have pure fun
Can't be a fool son what about the long run
Looking back Shorty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation
Girl you're my angel you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me baby
Shorty you're my angel you're my darling angel
Girl you're my friend when I'm in need lady
You're a queen and so you should be treated
Though you never get the lovin' that you needed
Could have left but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded mission completed
Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with her emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong
Girl you're my angel you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me baby
Shorty you're my angel you're my darling angel
Girl you're my friend when I'm in need lady
Girl in spite of my behavior said I'm your savior
You must be sent from up above
And you appear to me so tender say girl I surrender
Thanks for giving me your love
Girl in spite of my behavior well you are my savior
You must be sent from up above
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation
Girl you're my angel you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me baby
Shorty you're my angel you're my darling angel
Girl you're my friend when I'm in need lady
Girl you're my angel you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me baby
Shorty you're my angel you're my darling angel
Girl you're my friend when I'm in need lady
Girl you're my angel
