Lyrics:

Very soothing track from Shaggy. Built heavily on the bassline for Steve Miller Band’s “The Joker” and the chorus of Juice Newton’s “Angel of the Morning”.
Now this one's dedicated to all the youths who want to say nice things to all dem girls
Heh, heh, heh, (Shooby-dooby, dooby-doo, boy)
Treat her like diamonds and pearls
(Shooby-doo) Dedicated to all the girls around the world
(Now) Now this is Rayvon and Shaggy with a combination you can't miss
Heh, heh, heh (Shooby-doo, dooby-doo, boyoy)
Flip this one 'pon the musical disc (Yeah) Well
Ah, ah, wah, wah, wah

Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby (Tell them)
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

Life is one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done? (Yeah)
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run?
Looking back, Shorty always a-mention
Said me not giving her much attention (Yeah)
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel (Ah)
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby (Tell them)
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

You're a queen, and so you should be treated (Ah)
Though you never get the lovin' that you needed (Yeah)
Could have left, but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded, mission completed (Ah)
Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with your emotion (Yeah)
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long, and this could never be wrong

Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel (Uh)
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

Uh, uh
Girl, in spite of my behavior, say I'm your savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, say girl, I surrender
(Thanks for giving me your love)
Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you are my savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, well, girl, I surrender
(Said thanks for giving me your love)

Now life is one big party when you're still young
And who's gonna have your back when it's all done?
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run? (Yeah)
Looking back, Shorty always a-mention
Said me not giving her much attention (Ah)
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel (Ah, ah, wah)
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel (Ah)
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel (Ah-wah)
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby (Tell 'em)
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
