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
