Oh don't read the letter i wrote you Paying no mind to the things that i said Don't read the letter i wrote you Just tear it to pieces instead After we quarrelled last evening I wrote you a note of goodbye Then when you called me this morning I sat down and started to cry Ran down the street to the mailman And asked him, "oh what should i do?" He told me i could do nothing 'cause he just gave my letter to you [repeat chorus] I know that i acted hastily Yes my words were heartless and cruel Is it too late to be sorry? Forgive me for being a fool
