Stop!
Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr Postman
Wait! Wait, Mister Postman

Please Mister Postman look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, please, Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine

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

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

Please Mister Postman look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, please, Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine

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

Please Mister Postman look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, please, Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine

Why don't you check it and see one more time for me
you gotta wait a minute, wait a minute...
Mister Postman
Mister Postman look and see
C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner, the better
Mister Postman
