Johnny Angel Lyrics

[Intro]
(Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel)
Johnny Angel, you're an angel to me

[Verse 1]
Johnny Angel, how I love him
He's got something that I can't resist
But he doesn't even know that I exist

[Verse 2]
Johnny Angel, how I want him
How I tingle when he passes by
Every time he says hello, my heart begins to fly

[Pre-Chorus]
(I'm in Heaven) I get carried away
I dream of him and me
And how it's gonna be
(Other fellas) Call me up for a date
But I just sit and wait
I'd rather concentrate

[Chorus]
On Johnny Angel (Johnny Angel)
'Cause I love him ('Cause I love him)
And I pray that someday he'll love me
And together we will see
How lovely Heaven will be
[Pre-Chorus]
(I'm in Heaven) I get carried away
I dream of him and me
And how it's gonna be
(Other fellas) Call me up for a date
But I just sit and wait
I'd rather concentrate

[Chorus]
On Johnny Angel (Johnny Angel)
'Cause I love him ('Cause I love him)
And I pray that someday he'll love me
And together we will see
How lovely Heaven will be

[Outro]
(Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel)
Johnny Angel (Johnny Angel)
You're an angel to me
(Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel)
Johnny Angel (Johnny Angel)
You're an angel to me
(Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel)
Johnny Angel

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
