I've been up all night

I've been writing this letter

And I think I might have found a better way

To tell you all the things I've got to say

I put it in writing and you'll get it in the mail today



Well I don't know but I can't help feeling

That you got to stop your double-dealin' ways

Cheatin' on me is a crime that never pays

And that's all in the letter and you'll get it in the mail today



Well I would tell you to your face

But you'd just lie to me

Put you in your place

But you'd just try to defy me



Been up all night

Pencil and a paper

And I think I might have found a safer way

Say goodbye without much more delay

Well it's all in the letter and you'll get it in the mail today

I don't mean tomorrow

It's all in the letter and you'll get it in the mail today

I don't mean no Western Union

It's all in the letter and you'll get it in the mail today
