[Verse 1]
You wouldn't read my letter 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
[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 back to the wild side of life
[Verse 2]
Yes it hurts me to know that you don't love me though I know our love's forever gone
And it killed my soul and pride dear inside me
When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long
[Verse 3]
I'll just live my life alone with mem'ries of you
And 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
[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 back to the wild side of life
The Wild Side Of Life was written by William Warren & Arlie Carter.
