Angel By Natasha Bedingfield | The Video Missed The Lyrics

I admit  I was very critical of Natasha Bedingfield when it came to the “Pocketful of Sunshine” song. I stand by my opinion that for a song about spreading a sunny disposition, Natasha Bedingfield was singing too forceful. She was practically yelling actually.

It’s a different case with her new single “Angel“. Now here’s a melodic song, sang soulfully and softly. BUT, of course there’s a but , the video seem to have missed the message. The lyrics, which you’ll find after the jump of this post, doesn’t match the concept used in the video. It’s kinda dark for a song that’s supposed to be singing about being an “Angel”. Black leather jacket, exposed cleavage/bra and red lipstick. It looks more like a Dominatrix to me, heh.

Sure there were traces of a “white” alter-ego as the Angel character, I suppose. I do believe they could’ve come up with a sentimental video concept to deliver excatly what the song is all about. Showing Natasha Bedingfield in a red, silver, and black gown simultaneously totally missed the whole point.

Oh well, I’ll take what I can .

Angel lyrics after the fold….

Angel by Natasha Bedingfield

A.n.g.e.l
A.n.g.e.l

Just like a shadow
I’ll be beside you
I’ll be your comfort
And let it guide you home
I will provide you a place of shelter
I want a be your zone
Tell me what to do
Tell me what you wanted me to do
I’ll make you great to be a man
With a woman who can stand
Who will never promise to leave her man
Making vows to please her man

If I could be your angel
Your angel, Your angel
Protect you from the pain
I’ll keep you safe from danger
You’ll never hurt again
I’ll be your a.n.g.e.l
I’m gona be your a.n.g.e.l
I’ll be your angel

Just like the moon
I’ll step beside
And let your sun shine
While I follow behind
Cause baby what ya got
It is with all the props
With everything I’m not
Tell me what to do
Tell me what you wanted me to do
I’ll make you great to be a man
With a woman who can stand
Who will never promise to leave her man
Making vows to please her man

If I could be your angel
Your angel, Your angel
Protect you from the pain
I’ll keep you safe from danger
You’ll never hurt again
I’ll be your a.n.g.e.l
I’m gona be your a.n.g.e.l
I’ll be your angel

Tell me why there’s so many good men
And the world’s misunderstood
He’s a dog, he’s no good
I wish somebody would
Disrespect my man
You’re gona have to come see me
I go hard for my baby
He’s all that I need

So if you got a good one
Put your hands up,
Come on girl and stand up
Go ahead lift your man up
Get up
If you got a good one, put your hands up
Go ahead lift your man up
Get up
If you got a good one, stand up

Come on girl, and stand up
If I could be your angel
Your angel, Your angel
Protect you from the pain
I’ll keep you safe from danger
You’ll never hurt again
I’ll be your a.n.g.e.l
I’m gona be your a.n.g.e.l
I’ll be your angel
