Oh jealous me and careless you

The odds were just too great

I couldn't stand those lonely nights

You made me sit and wait



But I'd thought I'd seen the last of you

When you walked out of site

Instead I see you in my dreams each night



Oh the key's in the mailbox, come on in

I'm sitting here wishin' dear, I'd have your love again

And I'll never even ask you where you've been

The keys in the mailbox, come on in



Well I said I'd rather stay 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

And I'd gladly take you back on any terms
