G              F
Does she walk? Does she talk?
C
Does she come complete?
    G                F
My homeroom homeroom angel
        C
Always pulled me from my seat

  G                 F
She was pure like snowflakes
   C
No one could ever stain
     G           F
The memory of my angel
       C
Could never cause me pain

Em                                    Am
Years go by I'm lookin' through some girly magazine
      Em                              Am
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages
in-between

Chorus:
     G          F
My blood runs cold
    C
My memory has just been sold
   G             F
My angel is the centerfold
C
Angel is the centerfold
     G         F
My blood runs cold
    C                         G F
My memory has just been sold
C
Angel is the centerfold

Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away
Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by

Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee
Is really just too much

Chorus

It's okay I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take your car, Yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it!

Chorus
