Lyrics:

I got a call the other day
It was my sister, Carolyn, saying
'Aretha, come by when you can
I've got something that I want to say'
And when I got there, she said
'You know, rather than go through a long drawn out thing
I think the melody on the box will help me explain'

Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Ooh, and set me free

My heart's without a home
I don't want to be alone
I gotta find me an angel
In my life, in my life

Too long have I loved
So unattached within
So much that I know
That I need somebody so

So I'll just go on
Hoping that I'll find me someone
Gotta find me an angel
In my life, in my life

I know there must be
Someone somewhere for me
Oh, I lived too long
Without the love of someone

And there's no misery
Oh, like the misery I feel in me
Gotta find me an angel
In my life (you'll meet him, now don't you worry)
In my life (keep looking and just keep cooking)
In my life (he'll be there, now don't you worry)
In my life
