Marty Robbins - Respectfully Miss Brooks lyrics

rate me

I got a letter from my baby<br />

Came in the mail yesterday<br />

She had an awful lot on her mind<br />

She had an awful lot to say<br />

Well, she treated me like an old, old friend<br />

Just like a used to be<br />

Well, I know by heart the words she wrote to me<br />

<br />

Oh yeah, well, well<br />

<br />

She said, "Dear Mister Johnson<br />

Please sent back the letter that<br />

I wrote you long time ago<br />

We were kids, thought we were in love."<br />

Oh yeah, well<br />

She said, "Dear Mister Johnson<br />

Please send back a picture that we took."<br />

And it was signed respectfully, Miss Brooks<br />

<br />

Oh yeah, well, well<br />

<br />

Well I cried and I cried and I cried some more<br />

I fell right down and I cried on the floor<br />

I was hurtin' way down deep inside<br />

Where it don't show, don't show<br />

Well, I never felt so bad in my whole life<br />

Thought Miss Brooks was gonna be my wife<br />

But I done found out how wrong a man in love can be<br />

Oh yeah<br />

<br />

Well, I cried yesterday and all last night<br />

Nothin' ever gonna be alright<br />

Oh, well I called Miss Brooks on the phone<br />

And here's what I said well, I cried, I said now<br />

Please-se-se-se don't-o-o-on't make-a-a-ake me send you<br />

The letters that you wrote me<br />

Wrote me long time ago-o-o<br />

Please-se-se-se don't-o-o-on't make-a-a-ake me<br />

Send you back the pictures that we took<br />

Cause I still love you Miss Brooks<br />

<br />

Well I cried and I cried and I cried some more<br />

Fell right down and I cried on the floor<br />

I was hurtin' way down deep inside<br />

Where it don't show, oh, well, well<br />

Well, I never felt so bad in my whole life<br />

I thought Miss Brooks was gonna be my wife<br />

But I done found out how wrong a man in love can be
