[Intro] Woah oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah [Verse 1] What a day when the mailman came my way with the letter (Woo, what a letter) The letter that I should have with you (Boo, boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo) Tears came to my eyes when I realised that the letter (Woo, what a letter) Contained, contained so much bad news (Boo, boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo) [Pre-Chorus] Each word of the letter, ooh Filled my heart with pain, yes it did It came right down the point And you really, really, really, really madе it plain (You really, really made it plain) That you no longеr love me So you could not remain (You could not remain) You're pretendin' that you do No, and that it isn't true, woo [Chorus] The letter said that our love is dead (The letter said our love is dead and to forget you) And to forget about you And that's what I did, baby, I tried hard (What I did, what I did, what I did, but I can't) Now here I stand, a lost, broken man, baby (I stand a broken man, I'm nothing, baby) I'm nothin' I'm nothin', I'm nothin' without you, woah oh (What I did, what I did, what I did, but I can't) No, no, no (Boo boo do boo doo) Can't stand it, baby (Boo boo do boo doo) [Verse 2] Oh, the desire that I had was run to the fire with the letter (Woo, what a letter) It seemed like the wisest thing to do, yeah (Boo, boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo) Since then I've learnt that the fire only burned up the letter (Woo, what a letter) And not, would not burn up the memories of you, baby (Boo, boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo) [Pre-Chorus] I remember sweeter days, yes I do Times when you enjoyed me I never thought the time would come, honey When you would avoid me Until the day the letter came And literally destroyed me Since that day, the tears would fall The pen is mightier than the sword [Chorus] The letter said that our love is dead (The letter said our love is dead and to forget you) And to forget about you I know I just can't do it, no baby (But I can't, but I can't, but I can't, but I can't) Here I stand, a lost, broken man, baby (I stand a broken man, I'm nothing, baby) I'm nothin', I'm nothin', I'm nothin' without you, baby (Without you, without you, without you, without you) (Without you, I'm nothing) Oh, baby (Without you, I'm nothing without you) [Bridge] My world is empty without you, baby (Without you, without you) Oh, my life is nothing without you, baby (Without you, without you) I don't wanna make it, don't wanna make it without you, honey (Without you, without you) Since the day the letter came And brought my heart all this pain [Chorus] The letter said that our love, our love, our love is dead (The letter said our love is dead and to forget you) And to forget about you Lord have mercy, and I tried hard, I did (But I can't, but I can't, but I can't, but I can't) Now here I stand, a lost, broken man (I stand a broken man, I'm nothing, baby) I'm nothin', I'm nothin', I'm nothin' without you, baby (Without you, without you, without you, without you) When the mailman came my way, brought me a letter full of tears (The letter said our love is dead and to forget you) That our love is dead and to forget about you, baby, woo (But I can't, but I can't, but I can't, but I can't) Here I stand
