Why Don'T You Write Me

Why don't you write me
I'm out in the jungle
I'm hungry to hear you

Send me a card
I am waiting so hard
To be near you

(La, la, la)
Why don't you write?

Something is wrong
And I know I got to be there
Maybe I'm lost
But I can't make the cost
Of the airfare, ooh

Tell me why (why)
Tell me why (why)

Why don't you write me
A letter would brighten
My loneliest evening

Mail it today
If it's only to say
That you're leaving me
(La, la, la)

Monday morning, sitting in the sun
Hoping and wishing for the mail to come
Tuesday, never got a word
Hmm
Wednesday, thursday, ain't no sign
Drank a half a bottle of iodine.
Friday, woe is me
Gonna hang my body from the highest tree
Why don't you write me?
Why don't you write me?
Why don't you write me?
Why don't you write me?
Why don't you write me?
Why don't you write me?
Why don't you write me?
