Seven angels got my number since I fell in love with you
Seven angels got my number, they're all telling me what to do

First angel says "Go on and love her"
Second angel says "Ain't you tired of being alone?"
Third angel says "Do the right thing, me"
Fourth angel says "Check that other little angel walkin' on down the street"

Seven angels got my number since I fell in love with you
Seven angels got my number, they're all telling me what to do

Fifth angel says "Don't worry
Love's waitin' around the corner for you, son"
Sixth angel says "You better hurry
It don't take long for what's good to get gone"
Walkin' on wings all sexy and blue
Seventh angel says I'm a fool

I got seven angels calling on my pride
Seven devils crawling around inside
Seven angels tellin' me which way to turn
One kiss and my soul wanna burn

Seven angels got my number since I fell in love with you
Seven angels got my number, they're all telling me what to do

The earth's so lonely, sad, and blue
And without love, your soul is dyin'
Sixth angel says to believe you
When you say you'll never leave me cryin'
Seventh angel says you're lyin'

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
