You wouldn't read my letters 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 really loves you And went back to the wild side of life I'll just live my life alone with mem'ries of you And I dream of kisses you traded for my tears And no one will ever know how much I love you And I pray that you'll be happy through the years 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 really loves you And went back to the wild side of life
