**goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It's gone like a dream in the night
And it won't be back again

Goodbye to the island
Where our bodies touched
Goodbye to a little bit of heaven
And i miss you so much

*(oh) why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way

A bed it is an island
A world apart
Soft words in the middle of the night
Straight from the heart
Two heads on a pillow
So warm, so close
Goodbye to the island
Where, where it mattered the most

Darlin', every night i keep wonderin'
What i'm not doin' right
The fire's burnin' bright
And you look so, oh so good tonight

*i've been tryin' to make yon happy
For such a long time
Workin' hard to keep you
So much it's a crime
Give me what i want
'cause i'm losin' my mind for your

**wild love
All i want is your wild love
Give me a taste of your wild love
While i'm making love to you

Somewhere in your eyes
There's a lovelight that you just can't disguise
Darlin', darlin', darlin', every night
I still wonder what i'm not doing right

*repeat
**repeat 2 times

Oh yeah, oh baby, oh

**repeat

Makin' love to you
Makin' love to you
Oh yeah, ooh

**repeat

Wild love, wild love
Give me a taste or your wild love
While i'm makin' love to you
Oh yeah, give me, give me more or your

**repeat

The street lights start to come on
I know that it's time
Stop what you're doin'
Meet those drinkin' friends of mine
First guy that called me on the telephone
Said get on down but i'm stayin' at home

Now i believe in love
I believe that it's true
That i'm defenseless
When i'm lookin' at you
Sleepy eyes on an angel's face
Don't worry, baby
No one's gonna take your place

*the closer you get the better you look
Throw me a line
The closer you get the more that i see
We'll sure have a good time
Now i know what you're thinkin'
How do i feel
Well there's no rules in my book
Said the closer you get
Oh the better you took

Keepin' one foot on the showroom
One on the side
I've had some close ones
But i'm doin' all right
There's gold on his fingers
It don't mean a thing
He'll do his best
To hear this sweet lady sing
I've got the time if you got the place
We've got the know how
If you got the space
We've got the power, we've got no shame
Come over, baby
Sure do wanna light your flame, you know

Well you wouldn't read my letters
If i wrote you
You urged me not to call you on the phone
There's something i've been waiting
For to tell you
So i wrote it in the words of this song

You never knew there were honky tonk angels
Or you might have known
I'd never make a wife
You walked out on the only one
Who ever loved you
So i went on back to the wild side of life

Now the climate of all the good life
Oh has led me
To the places where the wine
And the liquor flow
I tried to be your one and only angel
But i'm not that kind of angel heaven knows
No no no no

I cried so hard
The day you went and left me
'cause the things you said
They cut me like a knife
What you wanted was another kind of angel
And you sent me back to the wild side or life, no

Well i'm just some trussed up honky tonk angel
And i might have known
I'd never make a wife
Well you left the only one
Who ever loved you
And i'm back here on the wild side of life

I'm only a honky tonk angel
And i might have known i'd never make a wife
You walked out on the only one
Who ever loved you
And you left me here
On the wild side of life

You ask me if i love you
I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am i to judge you
Or what you say or do
When i'm only just beginning
To see the real you

*and sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
That i have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till i die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the feelings subside

Romance with all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
And through the insecurity
Some tenderness abides
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within his youth

*repeat

Oh at times i want to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times i want to break through
And hold you endlessly

*repeat
