Return To Sender

Elvis Presley · Elvis By Request [2012]

I gave a letter to the postman

He put it in his sack

bright and early next morning

He brought my letter back



She wrote upon it:

Return to sender, address unknown

No such number, no such ZONE

We had a quarrel, a lover's spat

I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.



So when I dropped it in the mailbox

And sent it special D.

bright and early next morning

It came right back to me.



She wrote upon it:

Return to sender, address unknown.

No such person, no such ZONE

This time I'm gonna take it myself

And put it right in her hand.

And if it comes back the very next day

Then I'll understand



The writing on it

Return to sender, address unknown.

No such number, no such ZONE.



Return to sender.

Return to sender.

Return to sender.

Return to sender.
