The Marvelettes – Please Mr. Postman lyrics

(Wait) Oh, yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.
(Wait) Wait, wait, Mr. Postman.
Please Mr. Postman, look and see. (Oh yeah.)
Is there a letter in your bag for me.
(Please Mr. Postman.)
Why it's been a mighty long time (Whoa, yeah.)
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine.

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend who's so far away.
Please Mr. Postman, look and see.
Is there a letter, a letter for me.
I've been standing here waiting, Mr. Postman,
So, so patiently for a card or just a letter
Saying he's returning home to me.

Please Mr. Postman.
Please Mr. Postman, look and see. (Oh yeah.)
Is there a letter in your bag for me.
(Please Mr. Postman.)
Why it's been a mighty long time (Whoa, yeah.)
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine.

So many days you passed me by.
You saw the tears standing in my eyes.
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter.
(Please Mr. Postman.)
Please Mr. Postman, look and see.
Is there a letter, oh yeah, in your bag for me.
You know it's been so long, (Please Mr. Postman.)
Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine.

You better wait a minute, wait a minute.
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Whoa, you better wait a minute.
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Please, please, Mr. Postman.
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Please check and see just one more time for me.
You better wait, wait a minute.
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Please Mr. Postman.
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Deliver the letter, the sooner the better.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Wait a minute please, Mr. Postman, wait.
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
