Return to Sender Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I gave a letter to the mailman to put it in his sack
Bright in early next morning, he brought my letter back

[Chorus]
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone
We had a quarrel, a lovers spat
I write, "I'm sorry" but my letter keeps coming back

[Verse 2]
So when I dropped it in the mailbox, I sent it special D
Oh, bright in early next morning, but it had came right back to me

[Chorus]
Return to sender, address unknown
No such person, no such zone

[Bridge]
This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day, then I'll understand

[Chorus]
Return to sender, address is unknown
No such number, no such zone
Return to sender, address is unknown
No such person, no such zone
Return to sender, address is unknown
No such number, no such zone
Return to sender, address is unknown
No such person, no such zone
Well

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
