Love Letter Lyrics
I'd like a flat white, a day of pale skies
And a real kiss
Inside an old house, by the seaside
You can take off my blouse
But take it from me;
I'm disorderly and you'd be off better
writing someone else your love letter
'cause I'm always on the road
And of course I wanna know you better
But you know the way it goes
Well a telegram's no substitute
when it comes to living proof
Oh go on
and write somebody else,
Oh somebody else,
oh anybody...
Your love letter.
(shoosha shoosha shoosha)
(shoosha)
So I need a flight home
There's no day to argue
no I need my pillow
Well inside an old house, by the seaside
You can take off my blouse
But take it from me;
I'm disorderly and you'd be off better
Writing someone else your love letter
cause I'm always on the road
(shoosha shoosha shoosha)
And of course I wanna know you better
But you know the way it goes
(shoosha shoosha shoosha)
And a telegram's no substitute
When it comes to living proof
(shoosha shoosha shoosha)
Go on and write somebody else,
somebody else
somebody else a love letter
Oh, living in that chest is a big, big heart
one that I’ve known from the very start
Living in that chest is a big, big heart
one that I’ve known from the very start
Oh, living in that chest is a big, big heart
one that I’ve known from the very start
Oh, living in that chest is a big, big heart
one that I’ve known from the very start
Go on, write somebody else your love letter
‘Cause I’m always on the road
And of course, of course I wanna know you better
But you know the way it goes.
And a real kiss
You can take off my blouse
I'm disorderly and you'd be off better
writing someone else your love letter
'cause I'm always on the road
But you know the way it goes
when it comes to living proof
and write somebody else,
Oh somebody else,
oh anybody...
(shoosha)
There's no day to argue
no I need my pillow
You can take off my blouse
But take it from me;
Writing someone else your love letter
cause I'm always on the road
But you know the way it goes
When it comes to living proof
somebody else
somebody else a love letter
one that I’ve known from the very start
one that I’ve known from the very start
one that I’ve known from the very start
one that I’ve known from the very start
‘Cause I’m always on the road
But you know the way it goes.

Such a sad song. But wonderful for it.
absolutely - its such a tear jerker!
I think the meaning of the song is pretty clear, but correct me if I'm wrong.
The singer loves someone, but is always travelling and would rather that the lover choses someone else. She wants to know him better, but a long-distant relationship doesn't compare to being together. "One I've known from the very start" might refer to being childhood friends.
Beautiful song.
agree with remindsmeofyou. i had never heard this song until i bought Wonder, and now it's one of my favourites on the album. great song
