This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I've got a sweet little angel baby
I love the way she spread her wings
I've got a sweet little angel baby
And I love the way she spread her wings
And when she wraps her arms around me
She bring me joy and everything
Yeah she do
I asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a twenty Dollar bill
I asked my baby for a nickel y'all
And she gave me a twenty Dollar bill
I asked a little girl for a drink of liquor
And she gave me a whiskey still
And if my baby would leave me oh
I believe I would die
And if my baby leave
I believe I would die
And oh, if you quit me
Please tell me the reason why
I've got a sweet little angel baby
I love the way she spreads her wings, oh yeah
I've got a sweet little angel baby
And I love the way she spreads her wings
And when she wraps her arms around me
She bring me joy and everything
Oh yeah
I love the way she spread her wings
I've got a sweet little angel baby
And I love the way she spread her wings
And when she wraps her arms around me
She bring me joy and everything
Yeah she do
I asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a twenty Dollar bill
I asked my baby for a nickel y'all
And she gave me a twenty Dollar bill
I asked a little girl for a drink of liquor
And she gave me a whiskey still
And if my baby would leave me oh
I believe I would die
And if my baby leave
I believe I would die
And oh, if you quit me
Please tell me the reason why
I've got a sweet little angel baby
I love the way she spreads her wings, oh yeah
I've got a sweet little angel baby
And I love the way she spreads her wings
And when she wraps her arms around me
She bring me joy and everything
Oh yeah

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

What has that got to do with this song?
@Rut - You can't appreciate some types of music; therefore they must be inferior and worthless, and the people who enjoy it are lesser beings. Sound about right?
