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 you man

*so tell me if you think it's over
and i'll leave up to you how it end
cause if you don't want the love i can give you
well there's a honky tonk angel
who'll take me back in

you never look at me and say i love you
how much more do you think i can stand
oh when there's an old friend out there and she is waiting
lord she is happy just holding my hand

*chorus
yes there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
