lyrics

well i got my heart set on a certain girl that dont know how i feel
I'm gonna write it all down on a piece of paper and put it in the mail
when she reads those lines so sweet and sentimental, she'll be mine for sure
I'm gonna send that love letter, let her know i love her, cause it's better that i let her know

now I'm kind of shy, a man of few words, but i gotta find a way
to put it all together in the perfect combination, and say what i gotta say
I'll use the finest paper, new fountain pen, and a gold leaf envelope
I'm gonna send that love letter, let her know I love her, cause it's better that i let her know

BRIDGE:
it's better that i let her know the way i feel instead of keeping it inside
but every time i see her i just can't speak no matter how hard i try
I'm not a fancy speller, an uneducated fella, i got no college degree
but you got to understand, the words from my hand are yours sincerely

I'm gonna follow that mailman down the block and make sure there's no mistake
if he took it to the wrong address, oh how my heart would break
a man has got to do what a man has got to do, rain sleet or shine
I'm gonna send that love letter, let her know I love her, cause its better that i let her know
