Please Mr. Postman

Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman

Wait, Mr. Postman

There must be some word today

From my boyfriend who's so far away

Please, Mr. Postman, look and see

Is there a letter, a letter for me?

I was standing here waiting, Mr. Postman

So, so patiently

For just a card, for just a letter

Saying he's returning home to me

Please, Mr. Postman, oh yeah

Please, please, Mr. Postman, woah yeah

So many days you passed me by

You saw the tears standing in my eye

You wouldn't stop to make me feel better

By leaving me a card or a letter

Please, Mr. Postman, look and see

Is there a letter, oh yeah, in your bag for me

You know it's been so long

Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

You better wait a minute, wait a minute

Oh, you better wait a minute

Please, please, Mr. Postman

Please check and see

Just one more time for me

You better wait a minute, wait a minute

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute

Please, Mr. Postman

Don't pass me by, you see this is in my eyes,

Wait a minute, wait a minute

Wait a minute, please, Mr. Postman

Wait a minute, wait a minute
