Return To Sender
Elvis Presley The Jordanaires Lyrics

I gave a letter to the postman,
I entrusted a letter to the mailman

He put it his sack.
He placed it among his other deliveries

Bright and early next morning,
Early the following day,

He brought my letter back.
He returned my letter to me.

She wrote upon it:
The recipient wrote on it:

Return to sender, address unknown.
Return this to the sender, as the intended receiver's location is unspecified.

No such number, no such zone.
The purported address is not recognized or does not exist.

We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
We had a disagreement or argument fueled by romantic feelings.

I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
I apologize in writing, but my attempts to communicate fail as my letter is repeatedly returned.

So then I dropped it in the mailbox
Subsequently, I placed it in the designated receptacle for outgoing mail.

And sent it special D.
I sent it as priority mail, with additional handling and postage fees.

Bright and early next morning
Early the following day,

It came right back to me.
It was returned to my possession promptly.

She wrote upon it:
The recipient wrote on it:

Return to sender, address unknown.
Return this to the sender, as the intended receiver's location is unspecified.

No such person, no such zone.
The purported recipient and/or location of delivery is unidentifiable.

This time I'm gonna take it myself
This time, I will handle the delivery personally.

And put it right in her hand.
I will place it directly into her grasp.

And if it comes back the very next day
However, if it is once again returned to me promptly

Then I'll understand the writing on it
Then I will interpret the written message

Return to sender, address unknown.
Return this to the sender, as the intended receiver's location is unspecified.

No such number, no such zone.
The purported address is not recognized or does not exist.
