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 never knew 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 glamour of the gay nightlife  Has lured you to the places where the wine and liquor flows  Where you want to be somebody else's baby  And forget the truest love you'll ever know    I never knew God made honky tonk angels  . . .
