Lyrics Soul Of A Honky Tonk Woman - Mel McDaniel

Soul Of A Honky Tonk Woman

She puts on her makeup each evening
And makes up the story she’ll tell
Then she heads for a neighborhood tavern
And the night life that she knows well
There’s always somebody there
Waiting to whisper sweet talk in her ear
He’ll laugh when he tells her he loves her
And leave her crying honky-tonk tears
And she can fool anybody she wants to
But a honky-tonk man, he can see
Down to the soul of a honky-tonk woman
And the lady she’s wanting to be
Nobody would guess she’s unhappy
Laughter was all of her fame
But a honky-tonk man knows her difference
He’s living his life just the same
Now I’m trying to give up some reasons
That maybe she’ll get all her needs
I’m gonna let her know that she’s wanted
For more than a honky-tonk memory
And she can fool anybody she wants to
But a honky-tonk man, he can see
Down to the soul of a honky-tonk woman
And the lady she’s wanting to be
And she can fool anybody she wants to
But a honky-tonk man, he can see
Down to the soul of a honky-tonk woman
And the lady she’s wanting to be
She can fool anybody she wants to
