so many people to love

they're praying on bended knees

in their beds and on the dirty streets

lights are out on all the christmas trees

feels like everyone's about to freeze

makes me worry

everywhere i look someone's counting on me

so many people to love

and so little time

gotta hurry

big girls and little boys

broken hearts and dreams destroyed now

they need me to make it better

what's an angel gonna do when she needs some lovin' too?

i'm just askin'

they're using their money up

on shiny things no one will ever use

and the ones without can't buy a pair of shoes

nothing gentle in the daily news

makes me worry

everywhere i look someone's counting on me

so many people to love

and so little time

gotta hurry

big girls and little boys

broken hearts and dreams destroyed now

they need me to make it better

what's an angel gonna do when she needs some lovin' too?

i'm just askin'

can't find neighbors who are mending fences

from the mansions

to the hamptons

to the central park benches

city folk wearing all their armor

another st. nick rings a bell on the corner

so many people to love

and so little time

gotta hurry

there are big girls and little boys

broken hearts and dreams destroyed now

they need me to make it better

what's an angel gotta do when she needs some lovin' too?

i'm just askin'. askin'

i'm just askin'
