Wilbert Harrison — Your Three Letters

[Spoken] Yes, you're right about somethin’ And you want to be free Why, you feel that you're too good much to me For somebody like me Yes, you're afraid to present me to friends and your well set of parents Well, I guess it’s more convenient for us to forget But how soon you forget all those fine, fine things you've said And how just a little success Yes, just a little taste of success from that straight to your pretty little head I hold in my hand, three letters to you Three from different stages of your fine, super fine fool The first one began "Wilbert, darlin', sweetheart my wonderful one I'll always be grateful for the things that you've done" The second Your second letter came regularly after I gave you your stuff Yes, it came from you pen, dear Not from your heart The third The third was the joke of the king of the deck You ended your letter and closed "Wilbert, please find my check" Why you fool You poor sad, worthless foolish fool You think your money could pay me For the hard, hard years I suffered with you When the things broke your way Yes, I smile when you kiss me I thrill at your touch My only sin was I've known you Yes, I love you much too much I meant in your last letter to say that we must part But I'm tearing it into pieces Just like you tore up my heart Yes, I'm sad, and I’m licked And I haven’t got a dime But I thank God Yes, I thank my God I found you out in time [Sung] I still love you Won't you please come back to me? Come back, when you honor me Don’t stay from me 'Cause you'll always be my one We'll be together for eternity Hold me true That you would leave me in tears Now, hon, you go on and I’ll just sit in sadness Darlin', I'll sing my song
