Sweet Little Angel [Live] Lyrics

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
