ANGELENO GIRL
(Alabama Girl, Oklahoma Girl, West Virginia Girl, Minnesota Girl, New York
City Girl, Colorado Girl...you name it, she's from there!)

Up until the day I met her
I was like an unravelling sweater
Oh, then she began to mend me
Hugs and kisses and laughs in batches
That's what she uses to make her patches
Oh, She heals the wounds that rend me
She set out to befriend me
Now I've been mended by by this
ANGELENO GIRL
I was a rake and a rover
Now I've been taken over
My heart's been awakened by this
ANGELENO GIRL
ANGELENO GIRL

I'm tellin' you
I laid all my cards on the table
I even read her my warning label
Oh, She still wanted to be near me
She's movin' in and that's just ducky
How'd I ever get so lucky
Oh, She like to feel and hear me
She see's me and doesn't fear me
And I see so clearly with this
ANGELENO GIRL
I quiver and I quake about her
I go all William Blake about her
My world's been shaken by this [My love seat's been taken by this]
ANGELENO GIRL
ANGELENO GIRL

You don't know how hard I dreamed
That my heart would be redeemed here in this world
So I'm tellin' you

I'm jumpin' over all the walls and fences
She's taken leave of all my senses
Oh, that's okay I don't need 'em
Chart my stars and read my palm
I'll stay cool collected and calm
Oh, I'm not afraid to read 'em
Say the vows and I'll repeat 'em
I feel such freedom with this
ANGELENO GIRL
And I hope I'm not mistaken
Cause my heart's too old for breakin'
The last claim I'm stakin' is this [and I'm givin' up bacon for this]
ANGELENO GIRL
ANGELENO GIRL
OH...
ANGELENO GIRL
ANGELENO GIRL
