You'll hear talk around town of things I used to do
Some will try to poison your mind that my love can't be true
Many nights I lay awake dear hopin' our love will last
Wonderin' if your love is strong enough to forget about my past
I don't claim to be an angel my life's been full of sin
But when I met you darling that all came to an end
Never doubt my love dear whatever you may do
I don't claim to be an angel but my love for you is true
[ fiddle ]
I never knew what real love was till you came along
You changed my outlook on life made me regret my wrongs
Why should my past keep haunting me all through the years
I paid for my mistakes with millions of bitter tears
I don't claim to be an angel
