ANGIE BABY
(Alan O'Day)
Helen Reddy - 1974


YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IN THE SONGS YOU HEAR 
ON THE ROCK & ROLL RADIO 
AND WHEN A YOUNG GIRL DOESN'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS 
THAT'S A REALLY NICE PLACE TO GO 
FOLKS HOPIN' YOU'D TURN OUT COOL 
BUT THEY HAD TO TAKE YOU OUTA SCHOOL 
YOU'RE A LITTLE TOUCHED YOU KNOW, ANGIE BABY

LOVERS APPEAR IN YOUR ROOM EACH NIGHT 
AND THEY WHIRL YOU 'CROSS THE FLOOR 
BUT THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO FADE AWAY 
WHEN YOUR DADDY TAPS ON YOUR DOOR 
"ANGIE GIRL, ARE YOU ALRIGHT? 
TELL THE RADIO GOOD NIGHT." 
ALL ALONE ONCE MORE, ANGIE BABY 

CHORUS: 
ANGIE BABY, YOU'RE A SPECIAL LADY 
LIVIN' IN A WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE ... WELL, MAYBE

STOPPIN' AT HER HOUSE IS A NEIGHBOR BOY 
WITH EVIL ON HIS MIND 
'CAUSE HE'S BEEN PEEKIN' IN ANGIE'S ROOM 
EVERY NIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOW BLIND 
"I SEE YOUR FOLKS HAVE GONE AWAY, 
WOULD YOU DANCE WITH ME TODAY? 
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, ANGIE BABY" 

WHEN HE WALKS IN HER ROOM, HE FEELS CONFUSED 
LIKE HE WALKED INTO A PLAY 
AND THE MUSIC'S SO LOUD IT SPINS HIM AROUND 
'TIL HIS SOUL HAS LOST IT'S WAY 
AND AS SHE TURNS THE VOLUME DOWN 
HE'S GETTING SMALLER WITH THE SOUND 
IT SEEMS TO PULL HIM OFF THE GROUND 
TOWARD THE RADIO HE'S BOUND, NEVER TO BE FOUND 

WELL THE HEADLINE READS THAT A BOY DISAPPEARED 
AND EVERYONE THINKS HE DIED 
'CEPT A CRAZY GIRL WITH A SECRET LOVER 
WHO KEEPS HER SATISFIED 
IT'S SO NICE TO BE INSANE, NO ONE ASKS YOU TO EXPLAIN 
RADIO BY YOUR SIDE, ANGIE BABY

REPEAT CHORUS
