Even If You Tell Me
Pretty angel, why pray tell
do you visit me,
I am no one special
tell me what you see.
Many others need an angel
Innocent I'm not,
Why not help out those in need
I'm happy with my lot.
There are things that many need
I'm fine on my own,
If it's money that I need
I'll try and get a loan.
Many others you can help
there are mouths to feed,
I can live with what I've got
I have no time for greed.
