When we were kids I was your friend watching you grow You didn't get much of the love most of us know Ohh oh blue angel I can't put you down I should know better I grew up in your part of town And I can bless my good fortune I came through it fine Ohh oh blue angel you will always be a good old friend of mine How many years since you took off with your guitar Joining a band and singing sad songs round the bar Ohh oh blue angel guess I should have known That's not a good life for a girl far away from home When you were sad, poor and lonely too proud to let on Ohh oh blue angel all your better times just never came along Now the gentlemen of Soho buy your kindness and your smile And your flesh is just a souvenir of London for a while But I know what keeps you going what you spend your money on Some pusher man from hell has got you hooked on all that's wrong And a pretty dress don't cover up your eyes And I won't forget the emptiness I found in your disguise Lalalala Ohh oh blue angel I can't put you down I should know better I grew up in your part of town
