Oh jealous me and careless you The odds were just too great I couldn't take those lonely nights You made me sit and wait I thought I'd seen the last of you When you walked out of sight Instead I see you in my dreams each night So the key's in the mailbox, come on in I'm sitting here wishin', dear, I'd have your love again I'll never even ask you where you've been The key's in the mailbox, come on in ♪ I said I'd rather be alone Than share your company I said don't come around at all If you want more than me But sitting here alone I can't deny the flame that burns I'd gladly take you back on any terms So the key's in the mailbox, come on in I'm sitting here wishin', dear, I'd have your love again I'll never even ask you where you've been The key's in the mailbox, come on in
