Before you first made love to me

You called me, your wife-to-be

And after that, I saw the devil in your eyes

With your sweet smooth talkin' ways

You turned a flame into a blaze

The night I let you hang my wings upon your horns

 

Don't tell me that I'm no saint

I'm the first to know I ain't

There's a little thing called love

And that's what changed me

From an innocent country girl

To a woman of the world

The night I let you hang my wings upon your horns

 

You hung my wings upon your horns

And turned my halo into thorns

And turned me into a woman I can't stand

You're the first to ever make me

Fall in love and then not take me

The night I let you hang my wings upon your horns

 

You hung my wings upon your horns

And turned my halo into thorns

And turned me into a woman I can't stand

You're the first to ever make me

Fall in love and then not take me

The night I let you hang my wings upon your horns
