Love Angel Lyrics – Fifth Harmony
Who said I was an angel?
Who said I was an angel? Oh yeah
We was just a moment, nothing serious
Never really paid it no mind
Dropped the back side, you’re paying attention
Shaking all that, ah
Should’ve never not kept your word
Woulda had a reason to keep mine
You was too inconsistent
Shaking all that, ah
Should’ve never crossed that line with ya
Everything was cool, just drinking with ya
Way too young to be up in handcuffs
Wasn’t tryna spend my life on the phone with ya
Gotta keep it all 100 with ya
The original me wouldn’t fu*k with ya
And I was beginning to fu*k with ya
Who said I was an angel?
Who said I was an angel? Oh yeah
When you look at me, what do you see?
Open your eyes, I’m more brilliant than you’ll ever be
Who said I was an angel?
Yeah, won’t lie, say I don’t lie
Yeah, I might’ve told a few lies, yeah
Won’t lie, say I didn’t try
But you’re only worth a few tries, yeah
Track star, think you’re running these streets
You ain’t the only one running the streets
Stay making ground like I only wear cleats, yeah
Should’ve never crossed that line with ya
Everything was cool, just drinking with ya
Way too young to be up in handcuffs
Wasn’t tryna spend my life on the phone with ya
Gotta keep it all 100 with ya
The original me wouldn’t fu*k with ya
And I was beginning to fu*k with ya
Who said I was an angel? (But you was wrong, oh yeah)
Who said I was an angel? (Oh, I’m no angel, when you look at me)
When you look at me, what do you see?
Open your eyes, I’m more brilliant than you’ll ever be
Who said I was an angel?
Who said I was, an angel?
Who said I was an angel?
Who said I was an angel?
Didn’t know real me, I’m far from an angel
Who said I was an angel?
Never took the time out, never had time to figure me out
When you look at me
When you look at me, what do you see? (What do you see?)
Open your eyes, I’m more brilliant than you’ll ever be
Who said I was an angel?
Who said I was a, an angel? Oh

🧩 Step-by-Step Lyric Breakdown
🎙️ Intro / Hook
“Who said I was an angel?”
😇 This line immediately challenges perception. It’s an assertive rejection of being seen as sweet, passive, or perfect. She’s setting the tone: Don’t box me in — I contain multitudes.
🎙️ Verse 1
“We was just a moment, nothing serious…”
⏳ This line downplays the relationship. She’s saying it was casual, a fleeting connection, but he read too much into it or handled it immaturely.
“Should’ve never not kept your word…”
🧠 Loyalty and consistency are at the core here. He was unreliable, and she’s reflecting that she might’ve stayed if he held it together.
“You was too inconsistent…”
🔄 The frustration builds — the guy kept shifting, and she’s not here for emotional rollercoasters.
🎙️ Pre-Chorus
“Should’ve never crossed that line with ya…”
⚠️ She’s calling out a boundary being crossed — whether emotional or physical. Regret lingers. What started as light fun turned into unwanted drama.
“Way too young to be up in handcuffs…”
⛓️ A metaphor for feeling trapped or tied down too soon. This line captures youth vs. commitment tension.
“Wasn’t tryna spend my life on the phone with ya…”
📱 Emotional labor overload. She’s distancing herself from the emotional demands of the relationship.
🎙️ Hook Refrain
“Who said I was an angel?”
😈 Repeating this drives home the main theme — she’s complex, not the innocent girl he thought she was.
“When you look at me, what do you see?”
👁️ A moment of self-reflection. She challenges him — and the listener — to see her for her true self, not a filtered version.
“I’m more brilliant than you’ll ever be…”
💫🔥 This is a power line. She asserts her strength, intelligence, and glow — he underestimated her, and she’s done playing small.
🎙️ Verse 2
“Yeah, I might’ve told a few lies…”
🪞 She’s being honest about her flaws. She’s not perfect, but she owns it. It’s part of the theme: don’t expect sainthood from a woman just because she loved you.
“You ain’t the only one running the streets…”
🏃♀️ She flips the script — he thinks he’s out doing his thing, but she’s got power too. Equality in the chaos.
“Stay making ground like I only wear cleats…”
⚽ A dope metaphor. She’s a player in her own right, constantly pushing forward. She’s not behind him — she’s outrunning him.
🎙️ Bridge & Final Chorus
“Didn’t know real me, I’m far from an angel…”
👻 This confession hits hard. He loved an idea of her — not her true self.
“Never took the time out, never had time to figure me out…”
⏱️ A direct jab at emotional neglect. He never tried to understand her complexities — now he’s lost her.
🎭 Themes

💡 Song Meaning
“Love Angel” isn’t about being in love — it’s about unlearning unhealthy love.
It’s a strong-willed anthem where the speaker reclaims her identity, detaches from romantic expectations, and refuses to be idealized or diminished. The idea of being an “angel” symbolizes the unrealistic expectations placed on women — pure, perfect, emotionally selfless.
💥 She tears that down, asserting:
“I am flawed. I am brilliant. I’m not your fantasy — I’m real.”
