You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you   And 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      And 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
