Mail It In

<Verse 1>

Standin' on my doorstep, waitin' for a package

Hopin' for that blissful moment when

That blonde-haired angel falls out of the heavens

With a bag full of bills again

It's a little bit awkward when she gives em over

It's hard to look her in the eye

It might just be the way she's fumblin'

Bringin' out my nervous side

<Chorus>

Some folks like to send telegrams

Others like to drop on in

But if it means that I see that girl

Well, I'm a-gonna mail it in

<Verse 2>

She's a star of civil service, the reason for insurance

But I don't seem to get a break

My mailed pleas to her majesties come back

"Just tell this girl for goodness sake"

I'm up all night readin' catalogs

Placin' orders til I'm broke

'Cause when they arrive I hope I'll have the courage

To get these words out of my throat

<Chorus>

Some can sing pretty songs of love

Some have handsome words and grins

But the only way that I see that girl

Is when I go and mail it in

<Verse 3>

It don't matter what the weather, she sure has it together

Though she might lose a thing or two

Her smile that sparkles holds a beat up parcel

Half my stuff is taped or glued

There's a crash on the porch, I open up the door

Help her stand and fix her hat

My voice is misbehavin' time to spend what I've been savin'

To buy a softer welcome mat

<Chorus>

Some folks like to send telegrams

Others like to drop on in

But all I want is to see that girl

So I'm a-gonna mail it in

<Repeat Chorus>

Some can sing pretty songs of love

Some have handsome words and grins

But the only time that I see that girl

Is when I go and mail it in

Is when I go and mail it in
