Lyrics Don't Read the Letter - Alma Cogan

Oh, don't read the letter I wrote you
Pay no mind to the things that I said
Don't read the letter I wrote you
Just tear it in pieces instead

After we quarrelled last evening
I wrote you a note of goodbye
Then when you called me this mornin'
I sat down and started to cry

Oh, don't read the letter I wrote you
Pay no mind to the things that I said
Don't read the letter I wrote you
Just tear it in pieces instead

Ran down the street to the mailman
And asked him, "Oh, what should I do?"
He told me I could do nothing
'Cause he'd given my letter to you

Oh, don't read the letter I wrote you
Pay no mind to the things that I said
Don't read the letter I wrote you
Just tear it in pieces instead

I know that I acted hasty
Yes, my words were heartless and cruel
Is it too late to be sorry
Forgive me for bein' a fool

Oh, don't read the letter I wrote you
Pay no mind to the things that I said
Don't read the letter I wrote you
Just tear it in pieces instead
Just tear it in pieces instead
