I'm gonna write a tear stained letter[00:00:08]
I'm gonna mail it straight to you [00:00:12]
I'm gonna bring back to your mind[00:00:17]
What you said about always bein' true [00:00:20]
Bout our secret hidin' places[00:00:24]
Bein' daily satisfied [00:00:28]
I can see you sittin' and readin' it[00:00:32]
While you hang you head and cry [00:00:35]
I just hope you're not so sad[00:00:39]
You're gonna go down suicide [00:00:42]
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:[00:00:45]
Put it special delivery [00:00:48]
'Cause it's gonna be full of stuff[00:00:54]
That's only known to you and me [00:00:57]
'Bout how every time I get turned on[00:01:00]
You turn me off and bring me down [00:01:03]
It'll be about the darkest news[00:01:07]
That ever did arrive in your hometown [00:01:11]
It'll be about the saddest thing[00:01:14]
Your mailman ever did bring around [00:01:18]
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter[00:01:21]
I'm gonna tell you one more time [00:01:25]
That you still could reconsider[00:01:30]
And come back to bein' mine [00:01:32]
An' if you think about what I'm sayin'[00:01:36]
It'd be hard to refuse [00:01:39]
Just be sure you think a long time[00:01:42]
On the answer that you choose [00:01:46]
It will be a most important piece[00:01:51]
Of personal private news [00:01:54]
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:[00:02:10]
Mark it "Personal Private News "[00:02:14]
An' I hope you'll keep it to yourself[00:02:19]
An' don't go 'round cryin' the blues [00:02:22]
Givin' off a bad impression[00:02:25]
As to what went really wrong [00:02:28]
When what it was was that suddenly[00:02:32]
The music was all gone [00:02:36]
And this man and this woman got cut off[00:02:40]
In the middle of our song [00:02:43]
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:[00:02:45]
I'm gonna put it to a tune [00:02:50]
So I'll be sendin' with it[00:02:55]
A sweet melody for you [00:02:57]
And not some red-hot upbeat zinger[00:03:00]
That'll set your body on fire [00:03:03]
But a hunk of love included[00:03:08]
Meant to take you a little higher [00:03:11]
And to settle on your sweet sweet mind[00:03:15]
At night when you retire [00:03:19]
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter[00:03:21]
