[Verse 1]
When nothing goes my way
And late nights turn the days
I spend my life in and out of trouble
And everywhere I turn, I never seem to learn
Ending up my own words and me
I can't get by alone, I'm helpless on my own
When I'm desperate and I got nowhere to go

[Chorus]
I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killing me and show me the light
I need an angel tonight

[Verse 2]
People I meet when I'm out there on the street
Open up the door to temptation
And every time they try, it's hard up to get by
And find the straight to carry me through
You know there's a price to pay each time I lose my way
Now I need someone here by my side

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
To come and help me now
She gets me what I need
I got everything above me now

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I need an angel
Uhh an angel
Talking about an angel
Dreaming about an angel
Ohh an angel tonight
Yeah, just an angel
Talking about an angel

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
