You Got My Letter - Boz Scaggs

You got my letter

But you must not read your mail

You got my letter baby

But you must not read your mail

Well I’m a happy man if I can get to you

And I’m a sad man if I fail

Should have known better

Than to leave it to the postal lines

I should have known better baby baby baby

I’m like a man running out of time

Mmm hmmm

I laid my heart out in that envelope

Now I’m laying it on the line mmm hmmm

Ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo

Yes I’m laying it on the line mmm hmmm

Ooh hoo hoo hoo

And you could take a big load off of my mind

I hope you’re gonna read it now

And give me some kind of sign

Don’t take much to read it now

You don’t have to read between the lines

And shine a little light on me And take away this mystery

I need a reason to be here

I need a reason to be And you’re the reason to me Don’t fail me now

Hoo hoo

Hoo hoo hoo hoo

I laid my heart out in that envelope

Now I’m laying it on the line mmm hmmm

I know you’re gonna be here

I know you’re gonna be here soon

And make it so much better

By the light of the big old moon

Send me some good news

To chase away these yearning blues

You give me reason to be here

You give me reason to be And you’re the reason for me Don’t fail me now baby

Hoo hoo hoo

Woah oh hoo hoo

Hoo hoo hoo

Woah oh hoo hoo

You give me reason to be You give me reason to be here

I need a reason to be Oooh hoo
