"I'm No Angel Myself" lyrics - MELISSA ETHERIDGE

[Intro:]
I'm no angel
Myself

Friend, I see you're drinking your refrain
Someone's got you twisted up
And you're tryna drown your pain
You don't mind so much the money
Or the way they shake their heads
But what's really set you achin'
Is the lie that made your bed
Well, what was that you said?

[Chorus:]
I'm no angel myself
Well, I've broke some hearts and I've played some cards
That I'd just as soon forget
I'm no angel myself
Well, I've built some dreams and in-between
I canceled all my bets
Who said only angels could fly?
Who said only angels could cry?
Why, I'm no angel myself
I'm no angel

Look at you, my friend, what is so wrong?
You got the gift, the charming lips
And the way you sing your songs
Well, it still sends me shaking
When I recall that day
The one I love was taken so
And had to have your way
Well, what else could I say?

[Chorus:]
But I'm no angel myself
Well, I've broke some hearts and I've played some cards
That I'd just as soon forget
I'm no angel myself
Well, I've built some dreams and in-between
I canceled all my bets
Who said only angels could fly?
And who said only angels could cry?
Why, I'm no angel myself

Here's to you, my friend, and here's to me
Here's to what we hold inside
Here's to what they see
Through the years the love we make is the blood inside our veins
We broke the laws and we begged and crawled
And we'd do it all again, yeah
Wouldn't we, my friend?
Yeah, wouldn't we, my friend?

[Chorus:]
I'm no angel myself
Well, I've broke some hearts and I've played some cards
That I'd just as soon forget
No, I'm no angel myself
Well, I've built some dreams and in-between
I canceled all my bets

[Outro:]
I'm no angel
Myself
Oh, I'm no angel
Myself
No, no, I'm no angel, yeah
Myself, oh
I got no one talking to me
I'm no angel
Let me buy you a drink, alright?
I'm no, I'm no, I'm no angel
Myself
