[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
You ain't got no halo hangin' over head
You ain't got no wings that you can spread
You ain't got no harp so you can play me song so sweet
You ain't got no golden slippers on your pretty little feet

[Chorus]
Oh, but to me you're an angel
To me you're an angel
You're not an ordinary girl
Because you're an angel to me, yeah

[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
Now you don't have sugar sprinkled all over you
You're not made of peppermint through and through
You don't come in assorted flavors like a package of charms
And you won't stain my shirt if you melt in my arms

[Chorus]
Oh, but to me you're candy
To me you're candy
You're not an ordinary girl
Because you're candy to me, yeah
(Candy, baby)

[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks]
I know I have a cause
I have missions on trees
You might not know all the facts
About the birds and the bees
You don't send me sweet love letters with the smell of perfume
My photograph might not be plastered all over your room

[Chorus]
Oh, but to me you're a sweetheart
To me you're a sweetheart
You're not an ordinary girl
You're a real sweetheart to me, yeah
(Sweet, sweet baby)
You're not an ordinary girl
You're a real sweetheart to me, yeah
(Sweet, sweet baby)
