Please Mr. Postman look and see
Is there's a letter in your bag for me
'Cause it been mighty long time
Since I have heard from this boyfriend of mine

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Please mister postman look and see
Is there's a letter, a letter for me

I've been standin' here waitin' Mr. Postman
So, so old so patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me

Please Mr. Postman look and see
Is there's a letter in your bag for me
'Cause it's been mighty long time
Since I have heard from this boyfriend of mine

So many days, you passed me by
You saw the tears standin' in my eyes
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter

Please Mr. Postman look and see
Is there's a letter, oh yeah in your bag for me
You know it's been so long
Yes since I have 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, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, please Mr.
Postman

Deliver the letter, the sooner, the better
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, please Mr. Postman
Wait a minute, wait a minute, oh
