Lyric
Return to sender
Return to senderI gave a letter to the postman
He put it his sack
Bright in early next morning
He brought my letter backShe wrote upon it
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zoneWe had a quarrel, a lovers’ spat
I write I’m sorry but my letter keeps coming backSo then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to meShe wrote upon it
Return to sender, address unknown
No such person, no such zoneThis time I’m gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I’ll understand the writing on itReturn to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zoneReturn to sender
Return to sender
Return to sender
Return to sender
