RETURN TO SENDER
(Blackwell - Scott)
ELVIS PRESLEY (RCA 47-8100, 1962)

I gave a letter to the postman
he put it his sack
But in early next morning
he brought my letter back

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone

We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D
But in early next morning
it came right back to me

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone

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 the writing on it

Return to sender, address unknown
No such person, no such zone
