The Carpenters - Please Mr. Postman

(Stop!)

Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman!

(Wait!)

Wait, Mr. Postman!

(Please Mr. Postman, look and see)

Oh, yeah

(If there's a letter in your bag for me)

Please, please, Mr. Postman

(Why's it takin' such a long time)

Oh, yeah

(For me to hear from that boy of mine?)

There must be some word today

From my boyfriend so far away

Please Mr. Postman, look and see

If there's a letter, a letter for me.

I've been standin' here waitin', Mr. Postman

So patiently

For just a card or just a letter

Sayin' he's returning home to me

Mr. Postman, oh yeah

(Mr. Postman, look and see

If there's a letter in your bag for me)

Please, please, Mr. Postman

(Why's it takin' such a long time

For me to hear from that boy of mine?)

So many days you passed me by

See the tears standin' in my eyes

You didn't stop to make me feel better

By leavin' me a card or a letter.

Mr. Postman, oh yeah

(Mr. Postman, look and see

If there's a letter in your bag for me)

Please, please, Mr. Postman

(Why's it takin' such a long time?)

Why don't you check it and see

One more time for me...

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute...

Wait a minute, wait a minute...

Mr. Postman

(Mr. Postman look and see)

C'mon, deliver the letter,

The sooner the better

(Mr. Postman...)
