Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama always told me to be careful who I love
And daddy always told me make sure he's right
I always had my eyes on this one particular guy
I was too shy, so I decided to write
[Chorus]
I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him, he better
Get it on time
I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him, he better
Get it on time
[Verse 2]
People always say that I've played myself for you
They say that you don't even notice me (Me, me, me)
Maybe when I get the nerve to come to you
Promise me that you won't diss me
[Chorus]
I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him, he better
Get it on time
I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him, he better
Get it on time
[Bridge]
I'ma write you a love letter tonight
You better keep watch 'cause the mailman's coming
Yes, he is
I'm writing you a love letter tonight
You better keep watch 'cause the mailman's coming
[Chorus]
(I'm) I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him, he better (He better)
Get it on time (On time, my baby)
[Chorus]
I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss
And when I write him, he better
Get it on time (Oh, my baby)
[Chorus]
I'm sending him a four page letter
And I enclosed it with a kiss (A kiss)
And when I write him, he better (When I write him, he better)
Get it on time
[Outro]
Get it on time
Oh yeah
