[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
You ain't got no halo hangin' over your head
You ain't got no wings that you can spread
You ain't got no harp so you can play me a song so sweet
You ain't got no golden slippers on your pretty little feet

[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Oh, but to me you're an angel
To me you're an angel
You're not an ordinary girl
Because you're an angel to me, yeah
(Yeah, baby)

[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Now you don't have sugar sprinkled all over you
(No sugar all over you)
You're not made of peppermint through and through
(Not peppermint through and through)
You don't come in assorted flavors like a package of charms
(Oh yeah)
And you won't stain my shirt if you melt in my arms
(Oh yeah)

[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Oh, but to me you're candy
To me you're candy
You're not an ordinary girl
Because you're candy to me, yeah
(Candy, baby)
[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
I know I have carved (I have carved)
Our initials on trees (Our initials on trees)
You might not know all the facts (All the facts)
About the birds and the bees
(About the birds and the bees)
You don't send me sweet love letters with the smell of perfume (Oh yeah)
My photograph may not be plastered all over your room (Oh yeah)

[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Oh, but to me you're a sweetheart
To me you're a sweetheart
You're not an ordinary girl
You're a real sweetheart to me, yeah
(Sweet, sweet baby)
You're not an ordinary girl
You're a real sweetheart to me, yeah
(Sweet, sweet baby)
