You wouldn't read my letter If I wrote you you asked me not to call you On the phone There's something that I've been wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay night life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's darling
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
And went back to the wild side of life
