Our Little Angel Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Our Little Angel Lyrics

    This is the place where i made my best mistakes
    This is the place even angels don't understand
    I've seen the disappointment in her face
    And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand
    She sits alone apart from the crowd
    In a white dress she wears like a question mark
    Friends speak of her fondly
    Enemies just think out loud
    You think you're man enough to please her
    And you're fool enough to start
    You're not going to do a thing to our little angel
    There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

    Now the cabaret is frozen and the laughter comes in cans
    And the lonely hearts club clientele don't know what to do with their hands
    You think that you'll be sweet to her but everybody knows
    That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes
    But you're not going to do a thing to our little angel
    There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

    So you mix your drinks and words
    You make bad jokes you make bad time
    The floors are there to walk over
    The walls are there to climb
    You swear that you'll never go back again once you're inside
    You're never the bridegroom she's always the bride
    And you're not going to do a thing to our little angel
    There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

    You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger
    Well you try to love her but she's so contrary
    Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary
    So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel
    You're not going to do a thing
    You're not going to do a thing
    You're not going to do a thing to our little angel
