Lyrics
It’s just like heaven
Being here with you
You’re like an angel
Too good to be true
But after all
I love you, I do
Angel baby
My angel baby
When you are near me
My heart skips a beat
I can hardly stand on
My own two feet
Because I love you
I love you, I do
Angel baby
My angel baby
Woo-ooh, I love you, woo-ooh, I do
No one could love you like I do
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Please never leave me
Blue and alone
If you ever go
I’m sure you’ll come back home
Because I love you
I love you, I do
Angel baby
My angel baby
It’s just like heaven
Being with you, dear
I could never stay
Away without you near
Because I love you
I love you, I do
Angel baby
My angel baby
Woo-ooh, I love you, woo-ooh, I do
No one could love you like I do
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
