You've Been An Angel
by

recording of 1950's 
from 
My Sweet Little Angel (Flair V2-39103) 
I don't mean to hurt you, baby and I'm sorry if I do 
I don't really mean to hurt you, woman, and I'm sorry if I do 
Why should I make myself miserable baby 
Baby, you know I'm human too 
Oh, please don't hate me 
Because I know we just don't belong 
Oh baby, please don't hate me 
I know we just don't belong 
I found me someone who wants me 
Baby, won't you please set me free 
I have to admit you've been an angel, baby 
And I'm grateful for the wife you've been 
Oh, I have to admit you've been an angel, baby 
And I'm grateful for the wife you've been 
Oh, but now my heart belongs to another 
So to hold me baby, is really a sin 
I want you to try to forgive me 
Babe and please try to understand 
I want you to please, please try to forgive me baby 
Babe and please try to understand 
You know I didn't make myself, woman 
And it's not my fault there's somebody else
