[Intro]
Return to sender!
Return to sender!
[Verse 1]
I gave a letter to the postman
He put it his sack
Bright in early next morning
He brought my letter back
[Chorus]
(She wrote upon it)
Return to sender
Address unknown
No such number
No such zone
We had a quarrel
A lover's spat
I write I'm sorry, but my letter keeps coming back
[Verse 2]
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to me
[Chorus]
(She wrote upon it)
Return to sender
Address unknown
No such person
No such zone
[Bridge]
This 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
[Chorus]
(The writing on it)
Return to sender
Address unknown
No such number
No such zone
Return to sender
Return to sender
Return to sender
Return to sender
Return to sender!
Return to sender!
[Verse 1]
I gave a letter to the postman
He put it his sack
Bright in early next morning
He brought my letter back
[Chorus]
(She wrote upon it)
Return to sender
Address unknown
No such number
No such zone
We had a quarrel
A lover's spat
I write I'm sorry, but my letter keeps coming back
[Verse 2]
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to me
[Chorus]

This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
