lirik lagu david ruffin - the letter
[intro]
woah oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah
[verse 1]
what a day when the mailman came my way with the letter (woo, what a letter)
the letter that i should have with you (boo, boo, boo, boo~boo~boo~boo~boo)
tears came to my eyes when i realised that the letter (woo, what a letter)
contained, contained so much bad news (boo, boo, boo, boo~boo~boo~boo~boo)
[pre~chorus]
each word of the letter, ooh
filled my heart with pain, yes it did
it came right down the point
and you really, really, really, really madе it plain (you really, really made it plain)
that you no longеr love me
so you could not remain (you could not remain)
you’re pretendin’ that you do
no, and that it isn’t true, woo
[chorus]
the letter said that our love is dead
(the letter said our love is dead and to forget you)
and to forget about you
and that’s what i did, baby, i tried hard
(what i did, what i did, what i did, but i can’t)
now here i stand, a lost, broken man, baby
(i stand a broken man, i’m nothing, baby)
i’m nothin’ i’m nothin’, i’m nothin’ without you, woah oh
(what i did, what i did, what i did, but i can’t)
no, no, no
(boo boo do boo doo)
can’t stand it, baby
(boo boo do boo doo)
[verse 2]
oh, the desire that i had was run to the fire with the letter (woo, what a letter)
it seemed like the wisest thing to do, yeah (boo, boo, boo, boo~boo~boo~boo~boo)
since then i’ve learnt that the fire only burned up the letter (woo, what a letter)
and not, would not burn up the memories of you, baby (boo, boo, boo, boo~boo~boo~boo~boo)
[pre~chorus]
i remember sweeter days, yes i do
times when you enjoyed me
i never thought the time would come, honey
when you would avoid me
until the day the letter came
and literally destroyed me
since that day, the tears would fall
the pen is mightier than the sword
[chorus]
the letter said that our love is dead
(the letter said our love is dead and to forget you)
and to forget about you
i know i just can’t do it, no baby
(but i can’t, but i can’t, but i can’t, but i can’t)
here i stand, a lost, broken man, baby
(i stand a broken man, i’m nothing, baby)
i’m nothin’, i’m nothin’, i’m nothin’ without you, baby
(without you, without you, without you, without you)
(without you, i’m nothing)
oh, baby
(without you, i’m nothing without you)
[bridge]
my world is empty without you, baby (without you, without you)
oh, my life is nothing without you, baby (without you, without you)
i don’t wanna make it, don’t wanna make it without you, honey (without you, without you)
since the day the letter came
and brought my heart all this pain
[chorus]
the letter said that our love, our love, our love is dead
(the letter said our love is dead and to forget you)
and to forget about you
lord have mercy, and i tried hard, i did
(but i can’t, but i can’t, but i can’t, but i can’t)
now here i stand, a lost, broken man
(i stand a broken man, i’m nothing, baby)
i’m nothin’, i’m nothin’, i’m nothin’ without you, baby
(without you, without you, without you, without you)
when the mailman came my way, brought me a letter full of tears
(the letter said our love is dead and to forget you)
that our love is dead and to forget about you, baby, woo
(but i can’t, but i can’t, but i can’t, but i can’t)
here i stand
