(Dear One, Dear One, Dear One)
When the mailman came to our house this morning,
I was waiting right there for him at the door
But when I opened up and read your last letter,
then I knew that I would wait for him no more
'Cause you said' Dear One, there's something that I have to tell you"
"Dear One, there's something that I have to say, yay-yay"
"Dear One, he's tall, dark, well you know how it is"
"And Dear One, he stole my heart away."
"Ah please don't cry, (please don't cry ) try not to be sad (try not to be sad)"
"I tried and I tried (I tried and I tried) not to hurt you bad (not to hurt you bad)"
"I tried so hard (I tried so hard) not to give in (not to give in)"
"But I lost my head, and I lost my heart, and I lost your love to him"
'Cause you said' Dear One, there's something that I have to tell you"
"Dear One, there's something that I have to say, yay-yay"
"Dear One, he's tall, dark, well you know how it is"
"And Dear One, he stole my heart away."
