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
