"The Key's In The Mailbox" lyrics

The Key's In The Mailbox

Oh, jealous me
And careless you
The odds were just too great
I couldn't take
Those lonely nights
You made me sit and wait

I'd thought I'd seen
The last of you
When you walked out of sight
Instead I see you
In my dreams each night

Oh, the key's in the mailbox
Come on in
I'm sitting here
Wishing, dear
I'd have your love again
And I'll never even ask you
Where you've been
Oh, the key's in the mailbox
Come on in

I said I'd rather be alone
Than share your company
I said don't come around at all
If you want more than me

But sitting here alone
I can't deny
The flame that burns
And I'd gladly take you back
On any terms

Oh, the key's in the mailbox
Come on in
I'm sitting here
Wishing, dear
I'd have your love again
And I'll never even ask you
Where you've been
Oh, the key's in the mailbox
Come on in

Yes, the key's in the mailbox
Come on in
