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 bsince 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
'Cos if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in

You never look at me and say "I love you"
How much more do you think I can stand
Oh, there's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord she's happy just holding my hand

* Repeat

Yes, there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
