When was the last time you kissed me And I don't mean a touch now and then It's been a long time since you felt like my woman And even longer since I felt like your man So tell me if you think it's over And I'll leave it up to you how it ends And if there's someone who wants the love you can give him Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in We've been living a lie for so long now How much more do you think we can stand There's an old friend out there and she's waiting Lord, she's happy just holding my hand So tell me if you think it's over And I'll leave it up to you how it ends And if he still wants the love you can give him Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in Yeah there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
