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 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 sittin' here wishing dear I had your love again

I'd never even ask you where you've been

The key's in the mailbox come on in

[ fiddle - steel ]

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 sittin' here alone I can't deny this flame that burns

I'd gladly take you back on any terms

Oh the key's in the mailbox...
