I got a letter from the Mailman yesterday
It came from Betty and was postmarked faraway
I felt so good, I dried up inside
I read that letter and I cried
She said, "Dear Bobby, just a line to say hello
We've been such good friends, you should be the first to know
I fell in love, my dreams have all come true
And, Bobby, he's so much like you
He swept me off my feet, I never thought I'd meet
Someone else who'd be so good to me
I know someday you'll find someone to love you true
You'll fall in love and then you'll feel just like I do
So I'll go now, write me soon, Goodbye"
I read that letter and I cried
I loved her so, but now she'll never know
My golden chance has passed me by
I waited much too long, now he's come along
This letter from Betty means goodbye
Whoa-oh.....whoa-oh.....whoa-oh.....whoa-oh
This letter from Bette means goodbye
Whoa-oh.....whoa-oh.....whoa-oh.....whoa-oh
This letter from Bette..............FADE
