"Angel" lyrics - DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

I call you up, you pick up
You call my bluff, on the cards of love
You hold so close your hands to your chest
I can't read your eyes, but I confess
It's lonely far away from you
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you to take my hand

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do I love you
Whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel
You

I play my cards the best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart, won't you please give in
I may be strong but I want you back again
When you're not here love, it's hard to pretend
It's all all right again
When you're not here love it's hard to pretend
It's all all right... still

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do I love you
Whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel
You

Watch the deck, count your cards
Makes no sense, that I'm always losing
When you're gone

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do I love you
Whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel
You

When you're gone...
