Return To Sender
I gave a letter to the mailman
He put it in his back
Bright in early next morning
He brought that letter back
And the writing said
Return to sender, address unknown
And no such number, and no such zone
When we had a quarrel, just a lover's spat
I keep writing that I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming right back
So when I took it to the mailbox
And this time, I sent it special D
But bright in early next morning
Well, it came right back to me
And the writing said
Return to sender, address unknown
And no such person, that was completely unknown
This time I'm gonna take it myself
Put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Well I'll guess I'll just have to understand once it says
Return to sender, address unknown
And no such person, and no such zone
Return to sender, address unknown
And ain't no such person, no, and ain't no such zone
Return to sender, well it keeps coming on back
Address unknown, well I don't know why
I don't know why it says, it got the right address right on it
If you keep sending it back and ain't to the post office
Well I know that, it's you!
And how come you won't talk to me?
I'll come over by, (?) won't need anything
I need you baby.
He put it in his back
Bright in early next morning
He brought that letter back
And the writing said
Return to sender, address unknown
And no such number, and no such zone
When we had a quarrel, just a lover's spat
I keep writing that I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming right back
So when I took it to the mailbox
And this time, I sent it special D
But bright in early next morning
Well, it came right back to me
And the writing said
Return to sender, address unknown
And no such person, that was completely unknown
This time I'm gonna take it myself
Put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Well I'll guess I'll just have to understand once it says
Return to sender, address unknown
And no such person, and no such zone
Return to sender, address unknown
And ain't no such person, no, and ain't no such zone
Return to sender, well it keeps coming on back
Address unknown, well I don't know why
I don't know why it says, it got the right address right on it
If you keep sending it back and ain't to the post office
Well I know that, it's you!
And how come you won't talk to me?
I'll come over by, (?) won't need anything
I need you baby.
