Return To Sender
Elvis Presley · Elvis By Request [2012]
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.
