No Angel by Beyoncé

Artist: Beyoncé

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:48

On the fifth track of her eponymous album, Bey gives us the chillwave piece of her musical puzzle. Gliding smoothly over a cascading beat, Bey waxes poetic in a mesmerizing falsetto about the imperfection of her and her lover. Lush and rich, with basslines and synths reminiscent of sounds from the ‘20s, “No Angel” demonstrates a vulnerability in Beyoncé’s usually rock solid attitude towards her partners: she still loves this guy even though he’s not perfect, even if he makes mistakes.

No Angel lyrics

Baby put your arms around me
Tell me I'm the problem
No, I'm not the girl you thought you
Knew and thought you wanted
Underneath that pretty face is somethin' complicated
I come with a side of trouble
But I know that's why you're stayin'
Because you're no angel either, baby
'Cause you're no angel either, baby
No I'm not an angel either
But at least I'm trying
I know I drive you crazy
But would you rather that I be a machine
Who doesn't notice when you're late or when you're lyin'
I love you even more than who I thought you were before
Cause you're no angel either, baby
Cause you're no angel either, baby
Cause you're no angel either, baby
Cause you're no angel either, baby, oh-oh
Oh, uh-no (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh, uh-no (oh-oh-uh, oh-uh-oh, oh)
Oh, uh-no (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Tell me, do you wanna ride? (Ride, ride, ride)
(Ride) tell me, do you wanna ride?
Ride around
Ride around
Ride around
We ride around in that H-town
Those candles in your bed
No need for the spell
Stop actin' so scared
Just do what I tell
First both my legs go back on your head
And whatever you want
Yeah baby I bet
It comes true
Baby put your arms around me
Tell me I'm the problem
No I'm not the girl you thought you
Knew and thought you wanted
Underneath that pretty face is something complicated
I come with a side of trouble
But I know that's why you're stayin'
Because you're no angel either, baby
'Cause you're no angel either, baby
(Oh, oh, oh)
You're no angel either, baby
No, no-no, no
No, no, no-no, no
No, no, no-no, no
No, no, no-no, no
No-no, no, no-no, no-no, uh
No-no, no, no-no, no-no, uh
No-no, no, no-no, no-no
No-no, no, no-no
