I've been writin' Mary Lou letters every day But I just found out lately how she throws them all away She don't even bother to read the things I say So I'm gonna write just one last time and I'll begin this way I'll say oh dear wastebasket care of Mary Lou If you see her say I need her like I'll always do
She won't read my letters now I write to you dear wastebasket care of Mary Lou [ trumpet ] No she don't even bother...
