Dave Matthews Band Angel lyrics

I call you up, you pick up
You call my bluff on the cards of love
You hold too close your hands to your chest
I can't read your eyes but I confess

It's lonely far from you, oh
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you
Whatever you are, I swear you'll be my angel, you

I play my cards the best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart, won't ya please give in?
I may be strong but I want ya back again

When you're not here, oh it's hard to pretend

It's all alright again
When you're not here love, it's hard to pretend
It's all alright

Still why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do? I love you
Whatever you are, I swear you'll be my angel, you

Watch the deck, count your cards
It makes no sense that I'm always losin'
When you're gone

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you
Whatever you are, I swear you'll be my angel
You, when you're gone
