The Wild Side Of Life

Jerry Lee Lewis

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 really 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

You just sit and wait to be anybody's baby

And forget the only 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 really loved you

And went back to the wild side of life
