    Gee Angel

    by: Sugar

    I bought a set of wings that I couldn't use
    I bought them in a store on the avenue
    I didn't mean to spend all the cash I had
    The second that I saw them I wanted them bad
    When I got home and I tried them on
    I noticed that the wingspan was way too long
    I couldn't take them back there was no return
    I should've gotten more I was feelin' burned
    Gee Angel won't you take these back?
    Gee Angel, Gee Angel I need some slack
    There's nothin' in this world that I'd rather do
    Then buy a set of wings and fly away with you
    Climbed up the mountain observed the view
    But Angel wouldn't say what I had to do
    Then Angel flew away and left me standin' there
    I knew I couldn't fly but I didn't care
    Oh Gee Angel won't you take these back?
    Oh Gee Angel, Gee Angel please come back
    There's nothin' in this world that I'd wouldn't do
    I'll buy a set of wings just to be with you
    There's nothin' in this world that I'd rather do
    Then buy a set of wings and fly away with you
    There's nothin' in this world that I'd couldn't do
