[Intro: Shaggy]
Now this one's dedicated to all the nice and beautiful girls
Treat ’em like diamonds and pearls
[?], babe, hey, hey

[Chorus: Sting]
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby (Tell them)
Shorty, you’re my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

[Bridge: Shaggy]
Life is one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done?
It's all good when you’re little, you have pure fun
Can’t be a fool, son, what about the long run?
Looking back, Shorty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

[Chorus: Sting]
Girl, you're my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I’m in need, lady

[Verse 1: Shaggy]
You're a queen and so you should be treated
Though you never get the lovin' that you needed
Could have left, but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded, mission completed
Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with your emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong

[Chorus: Sting]
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel (You're my darling)
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel (Darling angel)
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

[Verse 2: Shaggy & (Sting)]
Uh, uh
Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I'm your savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, say girl I surrender
(Thanks for giving me your love)
Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you are my savior
(You must be sent from up above)
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

[Chorus: Sting]
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel (You are my angel)
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady (My friend in need)
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
(Shorty, you're my angel)
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

[Outro: Sting]
La la la la
You are my angel
