As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playing
A song about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words that you are saying
It brings memories when I was a trusted wife
 

CHORUS:
It wasn't God who made Honky-tonk Angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
And have caused many a good girl to go wrong.

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the pain
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
Is because there always was a man to blame

Repeat chorus:
