Dave Matthews Band - Angel Lyrics






I call you up
You pick up
You call my bluff
On the card to love
You hold too close
Your hands to your chest
I can read your eyes
But I confess
It's lonely far from you, oh

Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
Wherever you are
I swear
You be my angel
You

I play my cards the best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart
Won't you please give in?
I may be strong
But I want you back again

When you're not here it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again
When you're not here love it's hard to pretend
It's all alright but still
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do, I love you?
Whatever you are
I swear
You be my angel, you

Watch the deck
Count your cards
Makes no sense
That I'm always losing
When you're gone

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you
Whatever you are
I swear
You'll be my angel, you
When you're gone

    The only version of this song I can listen to. Lovely Ladies light this up. Butch on the keys, Leroi was still with us. These are my good ol days.

  5. S.... A....

    Almost 10 years later and under 125k visits?? The world is wrong....

  6. C.... D....

    Commandeered Coolness Of “The Lovely Ladies” From None Other Than #PinkFloyd
    Genius Precedes Genius
    Thank You 😊 #DMB
    It’s Funkiest Shit Y’all Ever Did 😎

  7. M.... F....

    This performance gives me chills. Having seen DMB 20 something times, and always wanting to hear “angel” I now know why I haven’t. You can’t beat this.

  8. T.... ....

    5:40 - When the back-up singers take it to church and steal the show.....

  9. b.... ....

    And Roi is the first angel mentioned by the lovely ladies...damn the feels

    b.... ....

    That legit makes you choke up man

  10. j.... ....

    Miss you Grux!!

  11. j.... ....

    Love the LL

  12. B.... ....

    DMB and The lovely ladies.

  13. w.... g....

    Seriously do not understand why people dont like this song. I read on a few forums that many people say this is the worst dmb song . yeah right

  14. C.... T....

    So absolutely beautiful!!!!

  15. A.... P....

    I have nothing at all against Jeff coffin. Solid Player. But holy shit LeRoi just tears it up.

  16. T.... ....

    Fucking miss and love ya Leroi. Rest easy sweet soul

  17. 1.... ....

    Love all there song

  18. T.... K....

    My absolute favorite song!

    T.... K....

    You have got to be kidding me. This song is one of the worst DMB songs. I honestly don't understand how someone could like this song. It takes time away from a good song like seek up.

    T.... K....

    Totally a personal preference. I love this song, but have heard it just a few times in the many dozens of DMB shows I've attended. For me the gems are the less played tunes. Sadly, with the last albums from a few years ago, and the songs he's sung so far from the forthcoming album we are left with mostly mediocre tunes, mixed with a few greats from yesteryear. Again, my opinion and preference.

    T.... K....

    vídeos de Pokémon

    T.... K....

    Me too Tiffany Knef! I've been seeing Dave since the mid 1990's and I've never heard this song live :( It is definitely up there for me. No, it's certainly not "The Stone" but it holds a different kind of place in my soul 😉.

  19. D.... Y....

    Song should've ended at 5:23

    D.... Y....

    This is a joke right? Those were some powerful vocals and a fresh take to this song. But hey I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

  20. c.... ....

    For God sake, bring Butch back!!! The lovely ladies bring it every time! Thank you!

  21. M.... ....

    oh, LeRoi <3

  22. D.... i....

    This is the ticket right here. Such an awesome song that breaths soul from deep within. We miss you LeRoi Moore !!!

  23. B.... C....

    Yes, Yes, and Yes! Now this is good for the soul on a daily basis. Thank you!

  24. R.... c....

    Gives me chills every time! Thank you DMB and the Lovely ladies. Hope you hit NY again soon

  25. E.... c....

    Hands down, one of the best dmb performances of all time. The lovely ladies tear it up and knock it out of the park. Only other performances i like better are bartender from this concert and jimi thing from central park concert. Thanks for uploading :-)

    hey 1 dislike...FUCK YOU

  42. D.... J....

    Very well said. "Sometimes I just watch it so I can feel something".
    Thank you for explaining it so well.....Do you mind if I quote you? lol

  43. D.... J....

    I cannot stop hitting Repeat....in my car, at the gym, at home. From Roi to Butch to The Lovely Ladies!!!!! I lose myself every time I listen to this sweet music.

  44. M.... ....

    Brenda White-King, Cindy Mizelle, and Tawatha Agee are The Lovely Ladies. They are ALL legendary in the music business. They've sang on just about every popular song/album known to man. They all were longtime singers for Luther Vandross singing on all his recordings and accompanying him on stage. They're also known as the "New York Elite" or "The A-Team", being that they are highly demanded in the industry. Hope this helped! :-)

  45. S.... ....

    Got. To. Give. It. Up. For the ladies.

  46. J.... T....

    I miss the lovely ladies

  47. c.... ....

    "when you're gone"

  48. r.... ....

    Goosebumps, man...

  49. D.... ....

    If you can't get emotional about this one you can't get emotional about much. Sometimes I just watch it so I can feel something.

  50. r.... ....

    Chills. Every time

  51. r.... ....

    I would totally bang my wife to this song... and I have been married for more than 1 year!!! Holy hell....

    r.... ....

    i'd bang your wife too

  52. C.... ....

    @ 5:41 When I hear, ♫ "I, Ih..." One of my favorite moments in the song. I get ready and brace myself for the Lovely Ladies throw down. Those bitches know they can sing.

  53. C.... ....

    That moment when the powers that be have perfect timing and send you a song out of nowhere that is somehow a perfect fit for every facet of your current situation. In fact, it fits so well that it's almost unbearable and that's the moment you think maybe you should turn it off before you start to cry, but you don't because you know it's what you need to hear. So instead, you turn it louder and listen to it again at least three more times in a row.

  54. N.... ....

    And of course the lovely ladies y'all, ya got ta give it UP for the lovely ladies!

  55. M.... ....

    I was here! My 5th concert at this date. It rained on us, it shined on us. Amazing!

  56. B.... K....

    cause this shit has heart and soul, 5 times in concert and 15 years of loyalty. D.M.B for ever

  57. F.... ....

    best.version.ever.

  58. B.... Z....

    The lovely ladies got souuuuul power

  59. c.... ....

    dave concerts just arent the same without that saxy sax anymore mannnnn.

  60. f.... ....

    thank you Dave Matthews and band for this beautiful song. It's especially a great treat to see my favorite female backing singers together! Tawatha Agee, Cindy Mizelle and Brenda White-King on the same stage singing. I'm in awe!

  61. Y.... M....

    @TheProudestMonkey1 What did you do with the extra one second? :D

  62. C.... ....

    CHILLS @ 5:41 WHEN THE LOVELY LADIES DO THEIR THING!!

  63. s.... ....

    f'n awesome. A favorite.

  64. f.... ....

    music with a capital M!

  65. g.... d....

    Great music. Tthree of the greatest female songtress and not to mentioned background singers of all time ( w/luther vandross). Brenda, tawatha and cindy. Love how these ladies sing in unison and are able to demonstrate their individual vocal prowess.

  66. k.... ....

    I put this song on repeat whenever I have a bad day.

  67. n.... a....

    from a newborn to a man...thank you dave

  68. s.... ....

    some things just move you.I am a 48 year old grown ass man, I just watched this and broke down into tears.I dont know why,I feel embarresed.WOW

  69. d.... ....

    A few things: 1. These guys have been going around the country for 20yrs or so taking people by the hand into outer space for a dance in the falling stardust.
    2. Sometimes artists know they're KILLING IT, and they don't have to be cocky or arrogant; they're appreciative and in awe too - I think this is such a time. 3. This is a complete Lovefest, and I think a lot of people "got it" on this one.
    I know tastes don't always translate, but if you can manage the 15mins, you might see what I mean.

  70. t.... ....

    A fine soulful groove.

  71. N.... O....

    THE LOVELY LADIES!!!!!

  72. v.... ....

    When I am asked to describe how it is I feel for my girlfriend all I do is play this song for those that are asking. I like to think they get the message after hearing this. It's just another masterpiece by this band.

  73. S.... R....

    Amazing!

  74. A.... ....

    Do you think they'll bring back Butch for the 4 stops this summer??

  75. A.... ....

    YES!!! I've listened to this song 100000 times and have always wanted to see it!
    Thank you thank you thank you
