Lyrics
Return to Sender, Return to Sender
I gave a letter to the postman
He put it in his sack
But early next. morning
He brought my letter back
She wrote upon it: return to sender
Address. unknown
No such number
No such zone
We had a quarrel
A lovers’ spat
I write “I’m sorry”
But my letter keeps coming back
So when I dropped it in the mailbox
As any special deed
But early next morning
It came right back to me
She wrote upon it: return to sender
Address unknown
No such person
No such zone
This time I’m gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I’ll understand
Return to sender
Address. unknown
No such person
No such zone
