Why Don't You Write Me

[Verse 1] Why don't you write me? I'm out in the jungle I'm hungry to hear you Send me a card I am waiting so hard To be near you (La, la, la) Why don't you write? [Verse 2] Something is wrong And I know I got to be there (Yeah) Maybe I'm lost But I can't make the cost Of the airfare Tell me why, why, why Tell me why, why, why [Verse 3] Why don't you write me? A letter would brighten My loneliest evening Mail it today If it's only to say That you're leaving me (La, la, la) [Bridge] Monday morning, sitting in the sun Hoping and wishing for the mail to come Tuesday, never got a word Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign Drank a half a bottle of iodine Friday, woe is me I'm gonna hang my body from the highest tree Why don't you write me? [Outro] Why don't you write me? Why don't you write me? Why don't you write me? Why don't you write me? Why don't you write me? Why don't you write me?
