This Letter Lyrics by Material Issue

International Pop Overthrow

1991

[Verse 1]
Oh, yes, it's me writing this letter
And, God, how I hope that it makes me feel better
And, yeah, it's me, the end of your line
Though I don't say a word, I call all the time
I'd like to tell you the way I feel for you
But I'd only be lyin' to myself

[Verse 2]
Oh, yes, it's me, I'm drivin' past your house again
I drive by all the time, but I never stop in
Oh, yeah, it's me, I'm wavin' hello again
I'm only pretending you're someone I know within
I'd like to show you the plans I've made for you
But I don't need anyone but myself

[Chorus]
You can't have everything, no, not everything I want
But I want everything, oh, yeah, everything you've got

[Verse 3]
Oh, yeah, it's me on the end of the line
Though I don't say a word, I call all the time
And, yes, it's me, I'm ringin' your bell again
If he answers the door, I'll run like hell and then
I'd like to tell you (Ooh), how much I love you (Ooh)
But I don't love anyone anymore

[Chorus]
You can't have everything, no, not everything I want
But I want everything, oh, yeah, everything you've got
You can't have everything, no, not everything I want
But I want everything, oh, yeah, everything you've got

[Outro]
Oh, yeah, it's me writing this letter
