You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote youYou asked me not to call you on the phoneBut there's something I'm wanting to tell youSo I wrote it in the words of this songI didn't know God made honky-tonk angelsI might have knownYou'd never make a wifeYou gave up the only oneThat ever loved youAnd went back to the wild side of lifeThe glamour of the gay nightlifeHas lured youTo the places where the wine and liquor flowWhere you hate to be anybody'sNobody'sBabyAnd forget the truest love you'll ever knowI didn't knowGod made honky-tonk angelsI might have knownYou'd never make a wifeYou gave upThe only oneThat ever loved youAnd went backTo the wild side of life
