Angel Lyrics - Singles - John Hiatt

It is a hurtin' thing you don't wanna talk about it 

Pain in your heart well it's takin' your breath away 

You left it in lipstick on the mirror no use talkin' about it 

Love like this just don't come along every day 

 

(Chorus) 

Somebody just stop calling you angel 

Somebody just let love get up and go downtown 

Somebody just stop calling you angel 

Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down 

 

They called you tookie in high school, you didn't mind it too much 

Kind of nice to have a nickname, kind of like they thought about it 

You wish that it stuck with you, didn't have to trade it in on 

Some crazy lover's pet name, wind up hurtin' so much

(Chorus) 

Somebody just stop calling you angel 

Somebody just let love get up and go downtown 

Somebody just stop calling you angel 

Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down 

 

He peeled the skin off of the world and you stopped breathin' 

You drew a breath, he sighed, the air was freezin' 

Two blood-red hearts pumpin' hard out in the open 

You skinned your knee at kickball 

Twenty years ago against all hopin' 

 

Y'all put that hammer down and drove through love's angel food cake 

Tastin' every spongy layer and lickin' frosting off the moon 

Wild-eyed with excitement but childishly disappointed 

Maybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoon

Somebody just stop calling you angel 

Somebody just let love get up and go downtown 

Somebody just stop calling you angel 

Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down
