( W. Warren / A. Carter) 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)
