ALAN O'DAY
"Undercover Angel"

Yeah, yeah

Cryin' on my pillow
Lonely in my bed
Then I heard a voice beside me
And she softly said
"Thunder is your night light"
"Magic is your dream"
And as I held her
She said, "See what I mean"

I said "Whaaaat"
She said "Ooo-ooo-ooo-wee"
I said "All right"
She said "Love me, love me, love me"

Undercover angel
Midnight fantasy
I never had a dream
That made sweet love to me
Undercover angel
The answer to my prayer
You made me know
That there's a love for me out there
(Somewhere)
Yeah, somewhere

Heavenly surrender
Sweet afterglow
(Undercover)
Givin' up my heart to you
Now, angel, don't go
She said, "Go find the right one
"Love her and then"
"When you look into her eyes"
"You'll see me again"

I said "Whaaaat"
She said "Ooo-ooo-ooo-wee"
I said "All right"
She said "Love me, love me, love me"

Undercover angel
Midnight fantasy
I never had a dream
That made sweet love to me
Undercover angel
The answer to my prayer
You made me know
That there's a love for me out there
(Somewhere)
Oh, somewhere

Now you know my story
And girl, if it's right
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And love you tonight
Underneath the covers
The answer lies
Lookin' for my angel
In your sweet lovin' eyes

She said, "Whaaat"
I said, "Ooo-oo-oo-wee"
She said, "All right"
I said, "Love me, love me, love me"
She said, "Whaaat"
I said, "Ooo-oo-oo-wee"
She said, "All right"
I said, "Love me, love me, love me"

Undercover angel
Midnight fantasy
I never had a dream
that made sweet love to me
Undercover angel
The answer to my prayer
You made me know
That there's a love for me
Love me, love me, love me

Undercover angel
Midnight fantasy
I never had a dream
That made sweet love to me
Undercover angel
The answer to my prayer
You made me know that
There's a love for me...
