You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm 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
That ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay nightlife
Has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you hate to be anybody's
Nobody'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 back
To the wild side of life
