I fell in love…. the very first time I saw you

I said, oh my god, you are so fair and fine

I gave you a wedding ring,

I wrote songs for us to sing

And then I asked you, if you would be mine

You don’t return my tenderness

I love you more, you love me less

Where you are now, I can only guess

Cuz you don’t return my tenderness

Wish I was with my sweet little baby daughter

Or back home with my mama for a while

The only two women who have ever loved me

They’re the only ones who could ever make me smile

Every letter that I write you gets returned to me

And I write you a new one every day

They forward it around, your address they never found

You probably wouldn’t write back anyway

Final Chorus
