Your letter I read early this morning baby, and I read every word you had to say 
But if you love me like you say you do baby, I wanna know what in the world did you go away? 
Your letter said that you're doing ok baby, but then I read: "Please, let me come back home" 
Your letter read that you're doing ok now baby, and then you said: "Please, let me come back home" 
You said you were so tired, so tired baby, and you would have someone you could call your own 
Yes, my memory don't me fail on me baby, you know I’ll remember the day you left 
Yeah, my memory don't fail on me baby, you know I’ll remember the day you left 
You know you said baby: "I believe you now baby", that you were grown and you've been taking care yourself 
Oh, and here is my answer to you letter baby, and the words come straight from my heart 
Oh, here is the answer to you letter baby, and the words come straight from my heart 
Yes, I loved you then I can still love you now baby, but I'm afraid to play the bar
