Woke up this mornin' and I crawled out of bed,
I made a cup of coffee just to clear my head.
I felt all right 'til I looked on the floor,
There was a pile of bills stacked against the door.
I went in the kitchen and drank another cup,
I sat down at the table and added it up.
When I discovered how much I owe,
I said, ooh, ooh, it's time to go.
Mailman stay away from my door,
Got too many bills I don't need no more,
I don't know what I'm gonna do, but while I'm deciding,
To save my soul, I'm going to find me a hole to hide in,
{Instrumental}
Everyday it's the same old thing,
I know in advance what the man's gonna bring.
Registered letters from all over town,
Those final reminders are gettin' me down.
I once had money, but it's all been spent,
And now the landlord said he needs the rent.
Telephone company cuttin' off my phone,
Why don't they all just leave me alone?
Mailman keep away from my door,
Got too many bills I don't need no more.
I don't know what I'm gonna do, but while I'm deciding,
To save my soul, I'm going to find me a hole to hide in.
Mailman, stay away from my door.
Mailman stay away from my door.
Mailman stay away from my door.
Mailman yea, stay away from my door, whooAnd I know how it's to be
There is nothing more for you and I
Some are young and some are free
But I think I'm goin' blind
Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to beeee
Little lady cancha see?
You are so young and so much different than I
And I know how it's to be
Can't you see I'm going blind?
Cause, I think I'm going blind
And I know how it's to be
Cause, I think I'm going blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
Little lady can't you see
You're so young and so much different than I
I'm ninety thre-ee-ee-ee, you're sixteen
Can't you see I'm going blind
Yes I think I'm going blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
