Lyrics

FALLEN ANGEL
Written by Melanie Safka and David R Brunoehler AKA Bruen

He never had wings, never could fly
In most folks book he's a regular guy
Gets into trouble every now and then
But he always come round so I take him back in

He's a fallen angel
Been flyin' low for a mighty long time
Fallen angel
Heaven knows why, but he's mine

Some guys are harder to handle than others
Some men never come down
My guys a little bit different from his brothers
But he's always comin' around

He's a fallen angel
Love him to death - heaven knows why
Fallen angel
Heaven knows why, but he's mine

Fallin'
Headin' for under
Fallin'
Lighting and thunder
Callin' for help from a wishing well
Crawlin' for cover 'til I break the spell
(Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel)

Most men rely on a certain set of morals
Some have a principle code
Mine can't exactly rest his laurels
But carries his own load

He's a fallen angel
Been flyin' low for a mighty long time
Fallen angel
Heaven knows why, but he's mine
Fallen angel
Love him to death - heaven knows why
Fallen angel
Heaven knows why, but he's mine
Fallen angel
Ooh, oh, heaven knows why'
Fallen angel Ooh he's mine © 1993 David R Brunoehler & Melanie Safka
