[Lyric] Your Three Letters (Wilbert Harrison)

[Spoken]
Yes, you're right about somethin’
And you want to be free
Why, you feel that you're too good much to me
For somebody like me
Yes, you're afraid to present me to friends and your well set of parents
Well, I guess it’s more convenient for us to forget
But how soon you forget all those fine, fine things you've said
And how just a little success
Yes, just a little taste of success from that straight to your pretty little head

I hold in my hand, three letters to you
Three from different stages of your fine, super fine fool

The first one began
"Wilbert, darlin', sweetheart my wonderful one
I'll always be grateful for the things that you've done"

The second
Your second letter came regularly after I gave you your stuff
Yes, it came from you pen, dear
Not from your heart
The third
The third was the joke of the king of the deck
You ended your letter and closed
"Wilbert, please find my check"

Why you fool
You poor sad, worthless foolish fool
You think your money could pay me
For the hard, hard years I suffered with you
When the things broke your way
Yes, I smile when you kiss me
I thrill at your touch
My only sin was I've known you
Yes, I love you much too much

I meant in your last letter to say that we must part
But I'm tearing it into pieces
Just like you tore up my heart
Yes, I'm sad, and I’m licked
And I haven’t got a dime
But I thank God
Yes, I thank my God
I found you out in time

[Sung]
I still love you
Won't you please come back to me?
Come back, when you honor me
Don’t stay from me
'Cause you'll always be my one
We'll be together for eternity
Hold me true
That you would leave me in tears
Now, hon, you go on and
I’ll just sit in sadness
Darlin', I'll sing my song
