lyrics

Mail Lady
strolled by my way today.
had nothing for me
in her bag.
last week,
my dearest got my letter
Oh, mail lady, you'd better
believe she said
she would write me back.
For all the times
I have written
this'll be the first time
she's ever done that.

So I'm standing at my window
like a pup waiting for his poppa
to come home.
And I will stand right here
like I've stood for all these years
until that letter shows.

So, Mail Lady,
whatchoo think'll be in that envelope?
We talking,
all my hopes and dreams?
Will there be truth in every syllable?
Or a bunch of words veiled
so that I can't tell
what the hell she
really means.
Oh, Mail Lady,
sometimes you ladies
can be so hard to read.

Like why she's left me
at this window.
Never a straight answer,
a stay or go.
I'd assume that she's confused
but, oh, mail lady,
you're not supposed to assume things.
I wouldn't have to,
but she won't say so.

Hey Mail Lady,
whatchoo got in that bag?
Hey Mail Lady,
ain't she ever gonna write me back?
You tell me that you don't know.
Well, Mail Lady,
I appreciate that,
at least you'll say so.
