lyrics

Don't you know that I wrote my love a letter
and drew a little picture
and sent it all together
just to find it later
when I was looking through her trash can

After long I wrote a little song
and I put it on a record
and made a special pressing
and I sent it with a message
just to find it in her trash can

I was a fan of her band
I put her pictures on my wall
I talk to her when she's not there
but she don't say nothing at all

Don't you know that I'm holding on to hope
and I won't give up the ghost
and so I wrote another note
but I found that letter a little later
in the litter of her trash can

I couldn't go to the show
because the order of protection
What does the judge think she's trying to prevent
It's not like I shot the president
Like Jodie Foster's stalker
when he sought her affection

solo

Don't you know that I paid a little visit
I knocked upon her door
until someone said who is it
Was surprised when I heard it was a guy
and I knew it was my last stand

I could have cried
to realize she had a husband
And I never knew there was so much room
inside the trash can
