British singer Cliff Richard released a version as a single in 1975, however after being on sale for a short time in the UK and promoting it with TV appearances, it was withdrawn from the UK market after Richard found out exactly what a Honky Tonk Angel was. Elvis Presley recorded a version that was first released as an album track in 1975, however it was released as the B-side of a posthumous single in 1979 and overshadowed the A-side to reach number 6 on the Hot Country Singles chart. more »

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 your man
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
And if there's someone who wants the love you can give him
Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
We've been living a lie for so long now
How much more do you think we can stand
There's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord, she's happy just holding my hand
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
And if he still wants the love you can give him
Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
Yeah there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
