[Spoken]
I got a call the other day
It was my sister Carolyn, sayin'
"Aretha, come by when you can
I've got somethin' that I wanna say"

And when I got there she said
"You know rather than go through a long drawn out thing
I think the melody on the box will help me explain"

Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Hoo and set me free

My heart is without a whole
I don't want to be in love
I gotta find me an angel
In my life, in my life

Too long have I loved
So unattached within'
So much that I know
That I need somebody so
So I'll just go on
Hoping that I find me someone
Gotta find me an angel in my life
In my life...in my life

[Instrumental]

I know there must be someone
Somewhere for me
Oh I lived too long
Without the love of someone
And there's no misery
Ooooh oooh like the misery
I feel in me

I gotta find me an angel in
In my life
[You'll meet him now don't you worry]
In my life
[Keep lookin' and just keep cookin']
In my life
[He'll be there, now don't you worry]
In my life.
