Lyrics
An Angel and a Devil
My guardian angel says,
"Stay away from that foxy flirt."
Then I hear the Devil say,
"Look at her sexy mini-skirt."
The weddin' band on my hand
Reminds me I'm a married man.
But that demon's got me dreamin'
I'm a single man again.
Chorus:
Right or wrong, weak or strong,
Which one will it be?
An angel and a devil
Are fightin' over me.
My guardian angel tells me,
"Don't forget your weddin' vows.
You stood at the altar,
You're a married man now."
Then that sneaky Devil says,
"Hey, who's it gonna hurt?
Your wife will never know
You chased fox in a mini-skirt."
Repeat Chorus.
Bridge:
Just like in the Good Book,
Temptation's chasin' me;
Satan's closin' in,
Hot on my heels.
But my guardian angel
Is givin' me a nudge,
Remindin' me the Man Upstairs
Is gonna be my Judge.
My guardian angel says,
"You love your kids and your wife.
Your family will always be
The joy of your life."
Then that nasty Devil says,
"You deserve a little fun.
You gotta swerve when you see the curves
On that sexy little blonde."
Right or wrong, weak or strong,
The angel won the fight for me.
The Devil lost the battle
They were fightin' over me.
I'm just window shoppin'
When I'm lookin' at that girl.
My sweet wife, love of my life,
Is the center of my world.
An angel and a devil
Were fightin' over me.
