From the recording Modern Sounds In Love and Cynicism!
You should have listened to her in the first place
Lyrics
Angel On My Shoulder
When we were done I thought that love was over
Couldn't get a look to save my life
After you you were through with me, my confidence was gone
Three strikes and I'm out cut like a knife
Someone came along and tried to tell me
Like a bird that twittered in my ear
She said you weren't right for me
If I could only see
She twittered loud enough for me to hear
She was an angel on my shoulder
With a little bit of devil in her
Wiser but not older
As a friend I really picked a winner
You weren't good for me, now that I can clearly see
Glad I've got an angel on my shoulder
As I look back don't know what I was thinkin'
I can't believe I ever called you mine
Good thing she got through to me
I'd otherwise be lost
What a monumental waste of time
She's like an angel on my shoulder
Just between a little saint and sinner
Wiser and much bolder
As a friend I really picked a winner
Love's not done with me
I'm right where I wanna be
Glad I've got an angel on my shoulder
