LYRICAL LINGUISTICS – ANGEL
😇😇 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Hello, umm.. my name is…
I’m Mike… I’m not much of a singer… so please take it easy on me. *ah ha*
So… ah yeah… this song… *ahem* this song is… Sorry, I had a couple of drinks to help me get me through this. *ha*
Yeah… so um.. so I picked the song, “Angel” by Aerosmith because…
Well as you can tell from my uniform… I play for the Angels. *ahem* Get it?
Ahhh.. yeah? Well, a lot of people wrote me off after last season… and yeah I want to get a lot of my chest.
So… yeah I put my own spin on this classic.
Please, start the music.

I’m alone
Yeah, I don’t know if I can embrace this fight
I’m in tears
And my high barrelin’ (24.4 Barrel%) that I do is for you
I want your love
Let’s break down my base on balls (21.8 BB%) between us
Don’t mistake it for fluff
I’ll pull it to the right (44.8 Pull% career high)
It was rough enough (32.0 K% in ‘25; 23.6% in ’26)
I’ve struggled but now I’ve got the green li-iigghhht (92.5 Z-contact% career high)
Ba-aye-aye-by
I’m your Angel
C’mon start me tonight
I’m your Angel
Succumb ‘n’ make it all right
You don’t know what I’m gonna do
But I’m slugging in the 99th percentile (.658 xSLG)
Yes it’s true,
I must confess I’ve been nukin’ the ball for a rrrr-iiiiiiide (career high 44.8 Hard Hit%)
(.436) OBA-eah, (.461) xwOBA-eah
Wins above (2.2 WAR so far this season)
I’m playing much better (12 of 13 Batting stats are better from last season – Baseball Savant)
Without a glove (-1 Fielding Run Value)
Ah Dawg no doubt I’d be all alone on the throne (16 Batting Run Value)
What can I do?
I’m hittin’ in this lineup alooone
Maaa-ybe
I’m your Angel
C’mon ‘n’ play me tonight
I’m your Ahhh-ann-ann-gel
From Annaheim in spite
C’mon Perry ‘n’ trade me tonight
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Jose (Soriano 2.3 WAR) the reason I live
Josh (Lowe -0.9 WAR) the reason I die
My contract the reason I forgive
When my team breaks down in July
There’s no reason to try-yyyaayy
Maybe, Maybe, May-yea-yea-be
I’m your Angel?
C’mon Brandon (Gomes) save me tonight
I’m an Aaa-ann-ann-gel
C’mon Preston (Mattingly) make it all right,
I’m an Aaa-ann-ann-gel,
C’mon anyone save me tonight
(Arte, you’re an a—yeah, yeah)
I’m an Aa-ann-ann-gel
C’mon Arte ‘n’ trade me tonight
C’mon Arte ‘n’ save me tonight
C’mon Arte ‘n’ waive me tonight
C’mon Arte ‘n’ DFA me tonight
C’mon Arte ‘n’ pay me tonight
C’mon Arte ‘n’ save me tonight
ANGEL (original lyrics)
by AEROSMITH
I’m alone
Yeah, I don’t know if I can face the night
I’m in tears
And the cryin’ that I do is for you
I want your love
Let’s break the walls between us
Don’t make it tough
I’ll put away my pride
Enough’s enough
I’ve suffered and I’ve seen the light
Baby
You’re my angel
Come and save me tonight
You’re my angel
Come and make it alright
Don’t know what I’m gonna do
About this feeling inside
Yes, it’s true
Loneliness took me for a ride, yeah, yeah
Without your love
I’m nothing but a beggar
Without your love
A dog without a bone
What can I do?
I’m sleepin’ in this bed alone
Baby
You’re my angel
Come and save me tonight
You’re my angel
Come and make it alright
Come and save me tonight
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
You’re the reason I live
You’re the reason I die
You’re the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don’t need no reason why
Baby, baby, baby
You’re my angel
Come and save me tonight
You’re my angel
Come and make it alright
You’re my angel
Come and save me tonight
You’re my angel
Come and save me tonight
(baby, you’re my a-)
You’re my angel
C’mon Arte waive me tonight
You’re my angel
Come and take me alright
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Dedicated to Nicole Ann
