Twisted Angel
LeAnn Rimes · Twisted Angel [2002]
I was told to do no wrong
The angel in my mama's
precious eyes
Could be a devil with a heart
of stone
I couldn't help myself,
just had to go my way
Now I've got hell to pay
Yeah I'm a twisted angel
Flying wild and free
Yeah I'm a twisted angel
Flying to heaven on a
broken wing
Back when I was daddy's little girl
He brought me up on the
Rolling Stones
Thrown into the flame,
thrown into the world
That's when I learned how
to rock n'roll
Look's like everything
has gone my way
But I've still got hell to raise
Chorus
My mama taught me right
But the devil's up my sleeve
It's made me kind of crazy
But it's all right with me
Chorus
