Our Little Angel Lyrics - King Of America - Elvis Costello

This is the place where I made my best mistakes 

This is the place even angels don't understand 

I've seen the disappointment in her face 

And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand 

She sits alone apart from the crowd 

In a white dress she wears like a question mark 

Friends speak of her fondly 

Enemies just think out loud 

You think you're man enough to please her 

And you're fool enough to start 

You're not going to do a thing to our little angel 

There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now the cabaret is frozen and the laughter comes in cans 

And the lonely hearts club clientele don't know what to do with their hands 

You think that you'll be sweet to her but everybody knows 

That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes 

But you're not going to do a thing to our little angel 

There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change 

So you mix your drinks and words 

You make bad jokes you make bad time 

The floors are there to walk over 

The walls are there to climb 

You swear that you'll never go back again once you're inside 

You're never the bridegroom she's always the bride 

And you're not going to do a thing to our little angel 

There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger 

Well you try to love her but she's so contrary 

Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary 

So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel 

You're not going to do a thing 

You're not going to do a thing 

You're not going to do a thing to our little angel
