Lyrics for Angel

I got a call the other day It was my sister Carolyn, sayin' "Aretha, come by when you can I've got somethin' that I wanna say" And when I got there, she said "You know rather than go through a long drawn out thing I think the melody on the box will help me explain" Gotta find me an angel To fly away with me Gotta find me an angel Ooh, and set me free My heart is without a home I don't want to be alone I gotta find me an angel In my life, in my life Too long have I loved So unattached within So much that I know That I need somebody so So I'll just go on Hoping that I find me someone Gotta find me an angel in my life In my life I know there must be someone Somewhere for me Oh, I lived too long Without the love of someone And there's no misery Oh, oh, like the misery I feel in me I gotta find me an angel in my life (You'll meet him, now don't you worry) In my life (Keep lookin' and just keep cookin') In my life (He'll be there, now don't you worry) In my life
