Your Letter Songtext
von B.B. King

Yes, your letter reached me early this morning, baby
And I read every word you had to say
I say your letter reached me early this morning
And I read every word you had to say
But you know, I just don′t understand you, woman
If you loved me, why in the world did you go away?


Your letter said that you were doing okay
But then it read, "Please let me come back home"
Your letter said that you were doing okay, baby
And then it read, "Please let me come back home"
Yes, you said you were so tired, so tired, baby
And you wanted someone you could call your own

But my memories don't fail me, woman
I remember the day you left
Oh, my memories don′t fail me, baby
And I remember the day you left
Well, you know you told me then, and I believe you now, woman
That you were grown and you could take care of yourself


So now here is my answer, baby
And the words come straight from my heart
Well, here is my answer to your letter, woman
And the words come straight from my heart
Yes, against my will I know I could love you still, baby
But, baby, I just can't play the part
