Angel

[Spoken:]

I got a call the other day

It was my sister Carolyn, sayin'

"Aretha, come by when you can

I've got somethin' that I wanna say"

And when I got there she said

"You know rather than go through a long drawn out thing

I think the melody on the box will help me explain"

Gotta find me an angel

To fly away with me

Gotta find me an angel

Ooo and set me free

My heart is without a home

I don't want to be alone

I gotta find me an angel

In my life, in my life

Too long have I loved

So unattached within

So much that I know

That I need somebody so

So I'll just go on

Hoping that I find me someone

Gotta find me an angel in my life

In my life...in my life

I know there must be someone

Somewhere for me

Oh I lived too long

Without the love of someone

And there's no misery

Ooooh oooh like the misery

I feel in me

I gotta find me an angel in

In my life

(You'll meet him now don't you worry)

In my life

(Keep lookin' and just keep cookin')

In my life

(He'll be there, now don't you worry)

In my life.
