you live your life in the songs you hear
on the rock’n’roll radio
and when a young girl
doesn’t have any friends
that’s a really nice place to go
folks hoping you’d turn out cool
but they had to take you outta school
you’re a little touched you know
angie baby
hook
lovers appear in your room each night
and they whirl you across the floor
but they always seem to fade away
when your daddy taps on your door
angie girl are you alright
tell the radio good night
all alone once more
angie baby
angie baby
you’re a special lady
living in a world of makebelieve
well maybe
stopping at her house is a neighbor boy
with evil on his mind
’cause he’s been peeking in angie’s room
at night through her window blind
i see your folks have gone away
would you dance with me today
i’ll show you how to have a good time
angie baby
angie baby
angie baby
when he walks in her room
he feels confused like he’s walked into a play
and the music’s so loud
it spins him around
’til his soul has lost its way
and as she turns the volume down
he’s getting smaller with the sound
it seems to pull him off the ground
toward the radio he’s bound
never to be found
hook
the headlines read that a boy disappeared
and everyone thinks he died
‘cept a crazy girl with a secret lover who keeps her satisfied
it’s so nice to be insane
no one asks you to explain
radio by your side
angie baby
angie baby
you’re a special lady
living in a world of makebelieve
well maybe
well maybe
