( 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).
