Angel cries and holds her pillow tight
Home alone again for another night
Her man's at work that keeps him far from home
He calls her drunk at night on the telephone
She cries sometimes when she feels so all alone
She says Lord there's got to be
A better life for me
Despite these things I see
I know there's got to be
There's got to be
There's got to be
Barry works the clubs all night long
Back to an empty room all alone
His age is showing from drinking the whiskey down
He'd like to quit and try and settle down
He cries sometimes when there's nobody else around
He says Lord there's got to be
A better life for me
Despite these things I see
I know there's got to be
There's got to be
There's got to be
There's got to hold on
And soon you'll see
Just try and be strong
Cause you know there's got to be
A better life for me
Despite these things I see
I know there's got to be
There's got to be
There's got to be
I know there's got to be
I know there's got to be
There's got to be
There's got to be
I know there's got to be
There's got to be
