Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
Ah
Ah
[?] like I'm back in high school
I got no excuse
In the corner of the party
I see you
And you see me too
Pre-Chorus
Oh
Why do I want what I can't have?
It's never good enough
Oh
Why do I do this to myself?
It's never good enough
Chorus
Angel eyes
Angel eyes
I wanna be with you
It's no surprise
And in my mind
It's just me and you
Angel eyes
Angel eyes
I wanna be with you
It's no surprise
And in my mind
It's just me and you
Angel eyes

Verse 2
Oh
You look so good
And you make me feel so bad
Like I knew you would
You light up the room
But it's never good enough
I got no excuse
Pre-Chorus
Oh
Why do I want what I can't have?
It's never good enough
Oh
Why do I do this to myself?
It's never good enough
Chorus

Angel eyes
I wanna be with you
It's no surprise
And in my mind
It's just me and you
Angel eyes
Angel eyes
I wanna be with you
It's no surprise
And in my mind
It's just me and you
Angel eyes
