"The Letter" lyrics
(originally by The Box Tops)
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-coming home
My baby just wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I've gotta spend
Long as I'm back with my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-coming home
My baby just wrote me a letter
Well, he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me anymore
Please, can't you see
I've gotta get back to my baby once more anyway
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-coming home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
I said my baby just wrote me a letter
My baby, he wrote me a letter
My baby, he wrote me a letter
My baby, he wrote me a letter
My baby, my baby
My baby, he wrote me a letter!
Well, he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me anymore
Please, can't you see
I've gotta get back to my baby once more anyway
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter
(My baby wrote me a letter)
My baby wrote me a letter
(My baby wrote a letter, letter)
My baby wrote me a letter
(My baby wrote a letter)
Letter, letter, letter, letter, letter, letter, letter
(My baby wrote a letter, letter)
My baby just wrote me a letter
I said my baby just wrote me a letter
(My baby wrote a letter)
My baby just wrote me a letter
(My baby wrote a letter, letter)
My baby just wrote me a letter
(My baby wrote a letter)
(My baby wrote a letter, letter)
Letter, letter
(My baby wrote me a letter)
(My baby wrote a letter, letter)
Letter, letter
(My baby wrote a letter)
(My baby wrote a letter, letter)
Letter, letter
(My baby wrote me a letter)
(A letter)
Letter, letter, letter, letter, letter, letter, letter
(A letter)
Letter, letter, letter
(A letter)
Well, she wrote me a letter
That she couldn't live without me anymore
Please, can't you see
I've gotta get back to my baby once more
Well, she wrote me a letter
That she couldn't live without me anymore
Can't you see
I've gotta get back to my baby!
Wrote me a letter, wrote me a letter!
Wrote me a letter, wrote me a letter!
Wrote me a letter!
(A letter)

(A letter)
Wrote me a letter, wrote me a letter!
Wrote me a letter, wrote me a letter!
Wrote me a letter!
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-coming home
My baby just wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I've gotta spend
Long as I'm back with my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-coming home
My baby just wrote me a letter
Well, he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me anymore
Please, can't you see
I've gotta get back to my baby once more anyway
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-coming home
My baby, he wrote me a letter

Wrote me a letter, wrote me a letter!
Wrote me a letter, wrote me a letter!
Wrote me a letter!
