She lies before me in a glitter of white
Her lines so seductive, oh what a sight.
I am hers, yes forever hers, for I have lost the fight
She is the one, the only one, I'm blinded by her light.
Many times a day I must take in all her beauty
I surrender all control and all sense of duty.
She has taken my life and turned it asunder
I draw closer to the end and six feet under.

--I will give anything to have her, everything I own
my family, my financial security, even my home.
--A relinquishment of hope with no end in sight
I pay rent to the devil for an angel in white.

Oh the jobs I have lost and will never get back
The best women they come and go, that is a fact.
Money squandered away, a good marriage gone bad
I don't see my kids anymore, that's really sad. 
This angel I hate, though the sweet I always yearn
She takes all that I have, giving nothing in turn.
So take heed my friends, there's a lesson to learn
Stay clear of this angel, her ways you must spurn.

--I will give anything to have her, everything I own
my family, my financial security, even my home.
--A relinquishment of hope with no end in sight
I pay rent to the devil for an angel in white.

My life is abound within decay and disdain
The havoc she has wreaked is a wicked shame.
To possess her I must, with nothing to gain
My angel is a demon...
                        her name is cocaine!
