Lyrics

Got to Write a Letter

So your guilt is your love?
People say you're unkind
But you tried like a dog
Trying's off or it's on

oooooh-wooooh

You're so clever
You're always mine
Can't forget her
Got to write a letter

She's so clever
Always on your mind
Gonna have to give her some time

So you think with your shoes
And you guess with your neck
You're pushed in reverse
The worst is the best

oooooh-wooooh

You're so clever
You're always mine
Can't forget her
Got to write a letter

She's so clever
Always on your mind
Gonna have to give her some time

So you're feeling the pull?
To have what you have
Though it's never the same
You always want what you taste

oooooh-wooooh

You're so clever
You're always mine
Can't forget her
Got to write a letter

She's so clever
Always on your mind
Gonna have to give her some time

oooooh-ooooh

You're so clever
You're always mine
Can't forget her
Got to write a letter

She's so clever
Always on your mind
Gonna have to give her some time
