The man on the moon, he poured himself a drink.
He said I'm going to sit me down here for awhile and have myself a think.
And the stars, they all shut their eyes,
and I don't know why but my baby said goodbye.
I went and met this woman, she's all dressed up in red,
she be the kind of woman do somersaults right on your head.
All the children, they just laughed and played,
and I don't know why but my baby, she went away.
I've been searching for an angel, but you know,
I can't find one.
I've been hunting for some refuge, but you know, I can't buy none.
Oh, if I can't have my baby, you know, I don't want no one.
She said look through this keyhole and tell me what you see,
I said I'm sorry lover mine but that just don't look like no keyhole to me,
She got so mad, she slapped me across the face,
she said my momma always told Rodney, that you'd be a hard case.
I've been searching for an angel, but you know,
I can't find one.
I've been hunting for some refuge, but you know, I can't find none.
Oh, if I can't have my baby, you know, I don't want no one.
I saw her face up on a giant billboard sign,
she was grinning like a mad woman,
said come taste my pancakes some time.
I just stared, I shook my head in disbelief,
my baby's been gone now for fifty-seven weeks.
I've been searching for an angel, but you know,
I can't find one.
I've been hunting for some refuge, but you know, I can't find none.
Oh, if I can't have my baby, you know, I don't want no one.
You can't just sit down and write songs like these. You have to wrestle with the angel first. Tyrella has done that- the proof is the songs on Albedo. He is a master songwriter. Rodney DeCroo
