I need love, the kind I’ve
never known before.
You need it, too, the kind that makes you feel so good, baby.
I want to give, give you all the love you need.
Well, I’m a loner, and that’s the way I want to be, Yeah.

Let me say. As the sun climbs across the sky above,

So your smile filled me with a stronger love.
Just as you and I, watchin’ the morning sky, oh, yeah.
Somehow I know it’s time for me to say goodbye, Yeah, yeah.

Here’s why: can’t make a deal with the preacher, oh, yeah, yeah.
And I can’t make a bargain in heaven, now.

Angel, you came to my window, Angel, you came to my door.
I was a fool and I let you in; I sure ain’t no fool anymore!

Yeah, yeah, you better believe me right now baby.

Oh, yeah.

As the sun climbs across the sky above,
So your smile, filled me with a stronger love, mm.
Just as you and I, we’re watchin’ the morning sky,
And somehow I know, it’s time for me to say goodbye.

I can’t make a deal with the preacher, you know yeah.
And I can’t make a bargain in heaven, yeah, yeah.

Heaven knows me by now.
I can’t make a deal, oh no, no, no,
no.
I love you baby, I love you baby.
I can’t make a deal, make a deal, make a deal,
Make a deal, make a deal. Yeah, yeah.
You know and I can’t make no bargain in heaven,
Listen, I can’t make a deal, make a deal, make a deal,
Make a deal, make a deal, oh, oh.
And I can’t make no bargain in heaven, oh yeah.

Make a deal…
