I've tried my very best to meet all of your demands The more I try more faults you find I just don't understand You want me to be perfect and with all my heart I've tried You're looking for an angel and I'm sorry I can't fly If you could only feel the pain that's in this heart of mine Each little fault you find with me you turn into a crime Your doubtful thoughts and jealousy have caused our love to die You're looking for an angel and I'm sorry I can't fly [ fiddle - steel ] Love could have been the sweetest thing two people ever knew If you had only realized how much I cared for you I know you'll go on searching for that perfect guy And I hope his wings are pretty cause you see I can't fly
