When it seems things are finally going right Even the sun is shining for you And there ain't a cloud in sight Life flies an arrow to your heart Sailing over your defenses Breaking your will apart I need an angel on my shoulder Somebody watching over Give me an angel on my shoulder 'Cause I need a win So I pray but each word feels so in vain When joy keeps quiet as a whisper (quiet as a whisper) And bad luck falls like rain When life shoots a bullet straight to your heart Leaving you open and defenseless When did living become so hard I thought my losing days were over, oh yeah But it seems I'm getting nowhere before I begin I need angel on my shoulder Somebody watching over Give me an angel on my shoulder 'Cause I need a win (I need a win) Yes, when life will sends you right back to the start In your skin a little thicker Blackened and blue with scars I thought my losing streak was over, oh yeah Though this player's going nowhere There's no giving in I need an angel on my shoulder Somebody watching over Give me an angel on my shoulder 'Cause I need a win I need an angel my shoulder Somebody watching over Give me an angel on my shoulder 'Cause I need a win (I need a win) (Yes, I need a win) Oh I need a win (I need a win Yes, I need a win) I need a win (I need a win Yes I need a win) I need a win
