You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them You ask me not to call you on the phone But there's something I've been waiting for 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 that ever loved you And went on back to the wild side of life The glamor of the gay nightlife has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Where you wait to be somebody else's baby 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 that ever loved you And went on back to the wild side of life, oh yeah Well, the glamor of the gay nightlife has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Where you wait to be somebody else's baby 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 that ever loved you And went on back to the wild side of life, oh yeah 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 that ever loved you And went on back to the wild side of life
