Well, 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
Sometimes just plain mad
And 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
And 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 anythin' less
Well, it's in the way he walks
It's in the way he talks
And his smile, his anger and his kisses"

And I said, "Sister, don't you understand?
He's all I ever wanted in a man
I'm tired of sittin' alone by the TV 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 that we all cling to all our lifes
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
