Sidewalk Romeo [Angel of Mercy] lyrics

You with your black leather jacket

Cruisin' through the south side of town

I wonder what you hung up

I wonder what you done up

You with that "white boy" walk

You're dancin' in Italian shoes

You used to be the number one main man

You used to be the ace beaucoup

He's a sidewalk Romeo

That's got no place to go

Sidewalk Romeo

And you're left out in the cold

You, goin' through your little black book

Rehearsin' all your exit lines

Well, which one will you burn up?

Which one will you turn up?

You, you been runnin' out of fools

Always makin' love a game

You used to be the number one main man

You turned into an old cliché

Another sidewalk Romeo

Has got no place to go

A sidewalk Romeo

You're left out in the cold

But angel of mercy

Is makin' love like breathin' air

A sad, sad story

A cold, lonely, dark affair

Well, angel of mercy

Your healer, your lover, your friend

Don't need to hear the story

'Cause she already knows the end, yeah

You with your black leather jacket

Cruisin' through the south side of town

I wonder what you hung up

I wonder what you done up  

You with that "white boy" walk

You're dancin' in Italian shoes

You used to be the number one main man

You used to be the ace beaucoup  

Another sidewalk Romeo

Who's got no place to go

Well, sidewalk Romeo (sidewalk Romeo)

Who's left out in the cold  

Angel of mercy

Makin' love like breathin' air

Such a sad, sad story

A cold, lonely, dark affair  

Angel of mercy

Your healer, your lover, your friend

Don't need to hear the story

Hey, man, 'cause she already knows the end

Oh, yeah  

An angel of mercy

And a sidewalk Romeo

Angel of mercy

Sidewalk Romeo

(He's a sidewalk Romeo)

(Oh, yeah)

Angel of mercy

And a sidewalk Romeo

Romeo, Romeo

Angel of mercy

Sidewalk Romeo

(He's a sidewalk Romeo)

(Come on, come on, love)

Angel of mercy

And he's a sidewalk Romeo

Angel of mercy

Angel, angel

(He's a sidewalk Romeo)

Angel, angel

(Angel of mercy)

And a sidewalk Romeo

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
