Now, this one’s dedicated to all the youths
Who wants to say nice things to all them girls
Treat her like diamonds and pearls
Now, this is Rayvon and Shaggy with a combination you can’t miss
Flip this one ‘pon the musical disc
Well

Ah, ah
Wah, wah, wah

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Life is one big party when you’re still young
But who’s gonna have your back when it’s all done?
It’s all good when you live to have pure fun
Can’t be a fool, son, what about the long run?

Looking back, shorty always a mention
Say me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

You’re a queen and as so you should be treated
Though you never had the loving that you needed
Coulda left, but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded, mission completed

Mama said that I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with her emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I’m your savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, say: Girl, I surrender
(Thanks for giving me your love)

Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you are my savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, well, girl, I surrender
(Said thanks for giving me your love)

Now, life is one big party when you’re still young
And who’s gonna have your back when it’s all done?
It’s all good when you live to have pure fun
Can’t be a fool, son, what about the long run?

Looking back, shorty always a mention
Say me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady
