Freddy Fender - The Wild Side Of Life lyrics

rate me

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

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 glamour of the gay night-life has lured you

To the places where the wine and liquor flow

Where you wait to be anybody's baby

And forget the truest love you'll ever know

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

Yes it hurt me to know that you don't love me

Though I know that our love's forever gone

And it's killed my soul and pride, Dear, inside me

When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long

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

I'll just live my life alone with mem'ries of you

And dream of kisses 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

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
