(Wait)
Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman
(Wait)
Wait Mister Postman

Please Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh oh)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, please Mister Postman)
Cause it's been a mighty long time
(Oh yeah)
Since I've heard from that boyfriend of mine

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Please Mister Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, a letter for me

I've been standin' here waitin' Mister Postman
So, so patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me

(Please Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, please Mister Postman)
Cause it's been a mighty long time
(Oh yeah)
Since I've heard from that boyfriend of mine

So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears standin' in my eyes
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter

Please Mister Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, oh yeah, in your bag for me
You know it's been so long
Since I've heard from that boyfriend of mine

You better wait a minute, wait a minute
Oh, wait a minute
Oh please, please Mister Postman, oh yeah

You better wait a minute, wait a minute...
