Please Mr. Postman (From "Mean Streets") - The Marvelettes

There must be some word today

From my boyfriend who’s so far away

Please Mr. Postman, look and see

Is there a letter, a letter for me

I’ve been standing here waiting, Mr. Postman

So-o, so patiently

For a card or just a letter saying he’s returning home to me

Please Mr. Postman

Please Mr. Postman, look and see.

(Oh yeah.)

Is there a letter in your bag for me?

(Please Mr. Po-o-ostman.)

'Cause it’s been a mighty long time (Whoa, yeah.)

Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

So many days, you’ve passed me by

You saw the tears standing in my eye

You wouldn’t stop to make me feel better

By leaving me a card or a letter

Please Mr. Postman, look and see

Is there a letter, oh yeah, in your bag for me

You know it’s been so long, (Postman, postman.)

Yeah, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

You better wait a minute, wait a minute

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)

Whoa, you better wait a minute

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)

Please, please Mr. Postman.

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)

Please check and see just one more time for me

You better wait, wait a minute.

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)

Please Mr. Postman.

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)

Deliver the letter, the sooner the better

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)

Wait a minute please, Mr. Postman, wait

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)

Wait a minute, wait a minute
