(Dear one, dear one, dear one)
When the mailman came to our house this mornin'
I was waitin' right there for him at the door
But when I opened up and read your last letter
Then I knew that I would wait for him no more
'Cause you said, dear one, there's somethin' that I have to tell you
Dear one, there's somethin' that I have to say, yay-yay
Dear one, he's tall, dark, well you know how it is
And dear one, he stole my heart away
Ah please don't cry, (please don't cry ) try not to be sad (try not to be sad)
I tried and I tried (i tried and I tried) not to hurt you bad (not to hurt you bad)
I tried so hard (i tried so hard) not to give in (not to give in)
But I lost my head and I lost my heart and I lost your love to him
'Cause you said, dear one, there's somethin' that I have to tell you
Dear one, there's somethin' that I have to say, yay-yay
Dear one, he's tall, dark, well you know how it is
And dear one, he stole my heart away
'Cause you said, dear one, there's somethin' that I have to tell you
Dear one, there's somethin' that I have to say, yay-yay
Dear one, he's tall, dark, well you know how it is
And dear one, he stole my heart away
'Cause you said, dear one, there's somethin' that I have to tell you
Dear one, there's somethin' that I have to say, yay-yay
Dear one, he's tall, dark, well you know how it is
And dear one, he stole my heart away
Oh, dear one, he stole my heart away
Ah, dear one, he stole my heart away
Oh, dear one
He stole my heart away
