When we were kids I was your friend watching you grow   You didn't get much of the love most of us know      Oh, 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   Oh, 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      Oh, 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   Oh, 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      La, la, la   La, la, la   La, la, la      Oh, 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
