I got a letter from the mailman yesterday (yesterday)
It came from Betty and was postmarked far away
I felt so good until I looked inside
I read that letter and I cried
She said “Dear Bobby, just a line to say hello (hello)
We've been such good friends, you should be the first to know
I fell in love, my dreams have all come true
And, Bobby, he's so much like you
He swept me off my feet, I'd never thought I'd meet
Someone else who'd be so good to me
I know someday you'll find someone to love you true (love you true)
You'll fall in love and then you'll feel just like I do
So long for now, write me soon, goodbye”
I read that letter and I cried
I love her so but now she'll never know
My golden chance has passed me by
I waited much too long, now he's come along
This letter from Betty means goodbye
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh
This letter from Betty means goodbye
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh
This letter from Betty means goodbye
