Lyrics

Stop

Whoa yes, wait a minute, mister 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 taking 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 standing here waiting, mister Postman

So patiently

For just a card, or just a letter

Saying he's returning home to me

Mister Postman (Mister Postman, look and see)

Whoa, yeah (If there's a letter in your bag for me)

Please, please, mister Postman (Why's it taking such a long time?)

Whoa, yeah (For me to hear from that boy of mine)

Ah, ah, ah

So many days you've passed me by

See the tears standing in my eyes

You didn't stop to make me feel better

By leaving me a card or a letter

Mister Postman (Mister Postman, look and see)

Whoa, yeah (If there's a letter in your bag for me)

Please, please, mister Postman (Why's it taking such a long time?)

Why don't you check it and see one more time for me?

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute

Wait a minute, wait a minute

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, mister Postman (Mister Postman, look and see)

Come on deliver the letter, the sooner, the better

Ah

Mister Postman

Ah

Ah

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah
