Our Little Angel

This is the place I made my best mistakes

And this is the place even angels don't understand

I see the disappointment in her face

And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand

She sits alone apart from the crowd

In a white dress she wears like a question mark

Friends speak of her fondly, enemies just think out loud

You think you're man enough to please her, you're fool enough to start

But you're not gonna do a thing to our little angel

There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change

Well the cabaret is frozen and the laughter comes in cans

And the lonely hearts club clientele

Don't know what to do with their hands

You swear that you'll be sweet to her, but everybody knows

You're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes

But you're not gonna do a thing to our little angel

There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change

So you mix your drinks and words

You make bad jokes, you make bad time

The floors are there to walk over, the walls are there to climb

You swear you'll never go back again, but once you're inside

You're never the bridegroom, she's always the bride

But you're not gonna do a thing to our little angel

There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change

You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger

You try to love her but you're so contrary

Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary

So keep your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel

You're not gonna do a thing

You're not gonna do a thing

You're not gonna do a thing

To our little angel
