Respectfully Miss Brooks Lyrics - Marty Robbins

I got a letter from my baby 

Came in the mail yesterday 

She had an awful lot on her mind 

She had an awful lot to say 

Well, she treated me like an old, old friend 

Just like a used to be 

Well, I know by heart the words 

She wrote to me 

Oh yeah, well, well 

She said, "Dear Mister Johnson 

Please sent back the letter that 

I wrote you long time ago 

We were kids, thought we were in love" 

Oh yeah, well 

She said, "Dear Mister Johnson 

Please send back a picture that we took" 

And it was signed respectfully, Miss Brooks 

Oh yeah, well, well 

Well, I cried and I cried and I cried some more 

I fell right down and I cried on the floor 

I was hurtin' way down deep inside 

Where it don't show, don't show 

Well, I never felt so bad in my whole life 

Thought Miss Brooks was gonna be my wife 

But I done found out how wrong a man 

In love can be, oh yeah 

Well, I cried yesterday and all last night 

Nothin' ever gonna be alright 

Oh, well, I called Miss Brooks on the phone 

And here's what I said well, I cried, I said now 

Please don't make me send you, the letters that you wrote me 

Wrote me long time ago, please don't make me 

Send you back the pictures that we took 

'Cause I still love you Miss Brooks 

Well, I cried and I cried and I cried some more 

Fell right down and I cried on the floor 

I was hurtin' way down deep inside 

Where it don't show, oh, well, well 

Well, I never felt so bad in my whole life 

I thought Miss Brooks was gonna be my wife 

But I done found out how wrong a man 

In love can be
