Paper Angel

Another nostalgic backward glance at an icon
RPM 11

I couldn’t wait
to show you off
to all my jealous friends
I knew that they
would be blown away
by the way your body bends

your smile it was so warm
it never did get old
and i couldn’t help but notice
you must have been so cold

I took you home
and laid you down
gently on my bed
and then I got som tacks and hung you
up above my head

I saw you every day
you know you looked so fine
they called you charlies angel
but I knew that you were mine

you teeth trhey were so white
your eyes said carpe diem
you suit it was so tight
they put it in a museum

your smile it was so warm
it never did get old
and i couldn’t help but notice
you must have been so cold

I took you home
and laid you down
gently on my bed
and then I got som tacks and hung you
up above my head

I thought I had you to myself
but I knew that was a lie
cause I saw you on the wall
of almost every guy

I couldn’t wait
to show you off
to all my jealous friends
I knew that they
would be blown away
by the way your body bends

your smile it was so warm
it never did get old
and i couldn’t help but notice
you must have been so cold

I took you home
and laid you down
gently on my bed
and then I got som tacks and hung you
up above my head

I saw you every day
you know you looked so fine
they called you charlies angel
but I knew that you were mine
