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
  Chorus:
  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 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 flow
  Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
  And forget the truest love you'll ever know
  
  (chorus)
  
  The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
  to the places where the wine and liquor flow
  Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
  And forget the truest love you'll ever know
  
  (chorus)
