tear stained letter

i'm gonna write a tear-stained letter

i'm gonna mail it straight to you. i'm gonna bring back to your mind

what you said about always bein' true. about our secret hidin' places;

bein' daily satisfied. i can see you sittin' and readin' it

while you hang you head and cry. i just hope you're not so sad

'cause you're gonna go down suicide. i'm gonna write a tear-stained letter: put it special delivery. 'cause it's gonna be full of stuff

that's only known to you and me. 'bout how every time i get turned on

you turn me off and bring me down. it'll be about the darkest news

that ever did arrive in your hometown. it'll be about the saddest thing

your mailman ever did bring around. i'm gonna write a tear-stained letter

i'm gonna tell you one more time

that you still could reconsider

and come back to bein' mine. and if you think about what i'm sayin'

it'd be hard to refuse. just be sure you think a long time

on the answer that you choose. it will be a most important piece

of personal private news. i'm gonna write a tear-stained letter: mark it personal private news."
