Please Mr. Postman
SHAPIRO Helen Lyrics

Wait, oh yes wait a minute mister postman
The singer pleads the postman to wait for a minute and listen to her request.

Wait, wait mister postman
The singer repeats her request for the postman to wait for a letter from her girlfriend.

Mister postman look and see
The singer asks the postman to check his bag for any letters addressed to her.

Is there a letter in your bag for me
The singer asks if there is a letter in the postman's bag that is meant for her.

I been waiting a long long time
The singer has been waiting patiently for a letter from her girlfriend for a significant amount of time.

Since I heard from that girl of mine
The last time the singer heard from her girlfriend, she was far away and now the singer is waiting for an update in the form of a letter.

There must be some word today
The singer believes that there must be a letter from her girlfriend today and she is eagerly waiting for it.

From my girlfriend so far away
The singer's girlfriend is physically far away from her and the letter is her only connection to her girlfriend presently.

Please Mister postman look and see
The singer requests the postman to check his bag again to see if there is any letter from her girlfriend for her.

If there's a letter, a letter for me
The singer requests the postman to hand over the letter to her if there is one for her.

I been standing here waiting Mister postman
The singer has been standing and waiting for the postman to arrive with the letter for her.

So patiently
The singer has been waiting for a long time, but she is still patient and hoping for a letter from her girlfriend.

For just a card or just a letter
The singer would be happy with even a small card or letter from her girlfriend to know that she is thinking of her.

Saying she's returning home to me
The singer hopes that the letter would convey the message that her girlfriend is returning home to her.

So many days you passed me by
The postman has passed the singer by numerous times without delivering any letter from her girlfriend.

See the tear standing in my eye
The singer's eyes are filled with tears due to the longing and waiting for a letter from her girlfriend.

You didn't stop to make me feel better
The postman did not try to console or make the singer feel better by delivering a letter from her girlfriend.

By leaving me a card or a letter
The singer wishes the postman would leave a card or letter from her girlfriend to let her know that she cares about her.

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
The singer reminds the postman that he needs to wait for a minute.

Deliver the letter, the sooner the better
The singer urges the postman to deliver the letter as soon as possible.

You gotta check it and see, one more time for me
The singer requests the postman to check his bag for her letter one more time, just for her.
