Well, you wouldn`t read my letters if I wrote you You asked me not to call you on the phone There`s something I`ve been waiting for to tell youSo I wrote it in the words of this song
You never knew there were honky tonk angels Or you might have known I`d never make a wife You walked out on the only one who ever loved you So I went back to the wild side of life
Now the glamor of the good life always lead me To the places where the wild liquor flows I tried to be your one and only angel But I`m not that kind of angel, heaven knows
I cried so hard the day you went and left me `Cause some things you said, they cut me like a knife What you wanted was another kind of angel And you should be back to the wild side of life
No, well, I guess I`m just a honky tonk angel I might have known I`d never make a wife Well, you left the only one who ever loved you And I`m back here on the wild side of life
I`m only a honky tonk angel I might have known I`d never make a wife You walked out on the only one who ever loved you And you left me here on the wild side of life
