Title Dear one
Lyrictext

When the mailman came to our house this morning
I was waiting right there for him at the door
But when I opened up and read your last letter
Then I knew that I would wait for him no more

'Cause you said 'Dear one, there's something that I have to tell you
Dear one, there's something that I have to say, yay-yay
Dear one, he's tall, dark, well you know how it is
And, dear one, he stole my heart away.

Ah please don't cry, try not to be sad

I tried and I tried not to hurt you bad
I tried so hard not to give in, not to give in
But I lost my head and I lost my heart and I lost your love to him

Then she said 'Dear one, there's something that I have to tell you
Dear one, there's something that I have to say, yay-yay
Dear one, he's tall, dark, we'll you know how it is
And dear one, he stole my heart away.

Oh oh oh dear one, there's something that I have to tell you
Dear one, there's something that I have to say, yay-yay
Dear one, hes tall, dark, well you know how it is
And dear one, he stole my heart away.

'Cause you said dear one, there's something that I have to tell you
Dear one, there's something that I have to say, yay-yay
Dear one, he's tall, dark, well you know how it is
And dear one, he stole my heart away.

Oh, dear one, he stole my heart away.
Ah, dear one, he stole my heart away.
Oh, dear one,

He stole my heart away.
