Stop right there, wait a minute,
Hey, Mr. Postman, can't you see?
There's a letter in your bag for me
Why's it taking such a long time
From my boyfriend so far away
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
I'll be standing here waiting,
It's just a card, just a letter
Saying he's returning home to me
So many days you passed me by
Seen the tears standing in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a carol letter
Please, please, Mr. Postman
Why don't you check it and see?
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Come on and deliver the letter
Mr. Postman, oh yeah, yeah
Please, please, Mr. Postman
Why don't you take a seat
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Ooh, it's the girls' band
Come on and live a little better
Please Mr. Postman, look and see
Why's it taking such a long time
For me to hear from the boy of mine?
