Angel Band - Ralph Stanley

I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you I'd be lost like a ship at sea that took a wrong turn in the dark Could put a pen to the story of my life, but never know where to start I'd be skipping days and slipping through the nights without feeling a thing If you weren't here putting me right, what would my life mean? I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you Caught in a fire so hot without the rain to make it stop They would paint me a fool in a world that's so cruel Would be hell to go through without an angel like you All I need is a shot of your smile to chase the blues away And anybody else woulda give it up, you're the kind of love that stays All of that time I was looking for you, I knew there had to be a plan And I get everything I ever wanted in life when you tell me I'm a good man I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you Caught in a fire so hot without the rain to make it stop They would paint me a fool in a world that's so cruel Would be hell to go through without an angel like you I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you Caught in a fire so hot without the rain to make it stop They would paint me a fool in a world that's so cruel Would be hell to go through without an angel like you I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you Yeah

I'll confess your sweet talk had me weak in the knees But my friend got the same text, cut and copied Cause you're writing love notes to every girl on the block Baby, you should know us girls we talk Secrets out, baby please You're just a tease You're just a tease You sure think that you got what the ladies want Always talking about your dog and your restaurant Oh, you think you're pretty smooth and you're on a roll But this town is really small, and we all know Boy, come on, please You're just a tease You're just a tease, you're just a tease Maybe you were shy back in high school Always stuck in the friendzone But if you keep this up, you're gonna end up alone You spin by, no but that still doesn't make you cool You talk art, but maybe stop cause you sound like a fool When you first moved to town you had has wrapped around You're finger like the ring you're hiding now We all know, baby please You're just a tease You're just a tease, you're just a tease You're just a tease, you're just a tease You're just a tease
