Why can't you find an angel when you need one
Where did they all disappear
Seems like by now you'd come across a good one
That could wipe away these tears
It don't seem right that love let me down
Ooh the very same night all the angels left town
So pour me another I've got no where to go
Waitin' for my angel to show
Some people say there's a devil in the bottle
Waitin' on a fool like me
Come along with this heart feeling hollow ** for some company
I can still see her face I can still hear her voice
Oooh it's a helluva devil that gives you that kind of choice
So pour me another and I'll drink it slow
Waitin' for my angel to show
Waitin' for my angel to show
Ooh I'm waitin' for my angel to show
What's takin' so long God only knows
Waitin' for my angel to show
Why can't you find an angel when you need one
There must be some unwritten law
That says if you don't have the sense to keep her
You get no second chance at all
Now don't you suppose that it's just my life
Oooh heaven closed when my number came up
So come on bartender one more and I'll go
Waitin' for my angel to show
