Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Why don't you write me?

I'm out in the jungle

I'm hungry to hear you

Send me a card

I am waiting so hard

To be near you

[Verse 2]

Why don't you write?

Something is wrong

And I know I got to be there

Maybe I'm lost

But I can't make the cost

Of the airfare

[Verse 3]

Tell me why, why, why

Tell me why, why, why

[Verse 4]

Why don't you write me?

A letter would brighten

My loneliest evening

Mail it today

If it's only to say

That you're leaving me

[Verse 5]

Monday morning, sitting in the sun

Hoping and wishing for the mail to come

Tuesday, never got a word

Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign

Drank a half bottle of iodine

Friday, woe is me

I'm gonna hang my body from the highest tree

Why don't you write me?

Why don't you write me?
