Sittin on the back porch my head in my hand and Im tryin, to understand How to deal with a woman whos perfect in every way except for one She dont love this man Her eyes shine like diamonds her hair black as coal when she smiles I get weak in the knees Im in love with an angel no one can disagree but this angel aint in love with me Chrous If I spend another night without sleeping I think Ill go insane The love that sustained me has faded away and my tears are falling like rain She swore she would love me till death did us part when I placed a golden ring on her hand But her gaze towards another brought rage to my heart now shes sleepin peace beneith the sand Well Im locked in a small room with time on my hands and Im tryin to understand How my love for an angel could cause so much pain, miserey for this heartbroken man
