(wait) oh yes wait

A minute mister postman

(wait) wait

Mister postman

Please mister postman

Look and see

If there's a letter

In your bag for me

Cause it's been a mighty

Long time

Since I heard from

That boyfriend of mine

There must be

Some word today

From my boyfriend

So far away

Please mister postman

Look and see

If there's a letter

A letter for me

I've been standin' here

Waitin' mister postman

So so patiently

For just a card

Or just a letter

Sayin' he's

Returnin' home to me

Please mister postman

Look and see

If there's a letter

In your bag for me

Cause it's been a mighty

Long time

Since I heard from

That boyfriend of mine

So many days

You passed me by

You saw the tears

Standin' in my eyes

You didn't stop

To make me feel better

By leavin' me

A card or a letter

Please mister postman

Look and see

Is there a letter in your

Bag for me

You know it's

Been so long yeah

Since I heard from

That boyfriend of mine

You gotta wait a minute

Wait a minute

You gotta wait a minute

Please please

Mister postman

Please check it and see

Just one more time

For me you gotta wait

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Please mister postman

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Please mister postman

Wait a minute
