Tear Stained Letter

Lyrics

It was three in the morning when she took me apart
 She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart
 She danced on my head like Arthur Murray
 The scars ain't never going to mend in a hurry
 Just when I thought I could learn to forget her
 Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
 Oh, oh, oh love love
 Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
 Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
 Oh, oh, oh love love love
 Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
 Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
 Well my head was beating like a song by The Clash
 It was writing cheques that my body couldn't cash
 Got to my feet, I was reeling and dizzy
 I went for the 'phone but the line was busy
 Just when I thought that things would get better
 Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
 Oh, oh, oh love love
 Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
 Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
 Oh, oh, oh love love love love
 Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
 Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
 Well I like coffee and I like tea
 But I just don't like this fiddle-di-dee
 It makes me nervous, it gives me the hives
 Waiting for a kiss from a bunch of fives
 Just when I think I could learn to forget her
 Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
 Oh, oh, oh love love love
 Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
 Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
 Oh, oh, oh love love
 Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
 Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
 Oh, oh, oh
 Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
 Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
