Angels
Robbie Williams · 1997
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- I'm loving angels instead
- And through it all she offers me protection
- A lot of love and affection
- Whether I'm right or wrong
Sing it again — final chorus
- I'm loving angels instead
- When I'm feeling weak
- And my pain walks down a one way street
- I look above
