[CHORUS]

Oh don't read the letter I wrote you
Paying no mind to the things that I said
Don't read the letter I wrote you
Just tear it to pieces instead

After we quarrelled last evening
I wrote you a note of goodbye
Then when you called me this morning
I sat down and started to cry

[Repeat CHORUS]

Ran down the street to the mailman
And asked him, "Oh what should I do?"
He told me I could do nothing
'Cause he just gave my letter to you

[Repeat CHORUS]

I know that I acted hastily
Yes my words were heartless and cruel
Is it too late to be sorry?
Forgive me for being a fool

[Repeat CHORUS]
