Slight change -

don't wear those push-up pants, you've got enough nicknames already

should be

don't wear those push-up pants, to the football dance, you've got enough nicknames already

This song is amazing. Quite simply about an girl who isnt particularly pretty and doesnt fit in, but has a criminal penpal. She saves money from her job and spends it all on stamps when really she'd be better off kissing the mailman instead. The last verse implies that either (a) she tries to bust him out of jail but it goes wrong, or (b) this is his story, how he got caught, and now she just sits hoping one day he'll get probation so she can see him.
