Lyrics

Yes your letter reached me early this morning baby

Receiving your letter early in the morning.

And I read every word you had to say

Reading and comprehending the content of your letter thoroughly.

I said your letter reached me early this morning baby

Confirmation of receiving your letter in the morning.

And I read every word you had to say

Reiterating the act of reading every word of your letter.

But you know I just don't understand you waman

Expressing confusion or misunderstanding towards your actions, particularly your departure.

If you love me why in the world did you go away

Questioning the reason behind your departure despite claiming love.


Your letter said that you're doing ok

Indicating your well-being in the letter.

But then it read: "Please, let me come back home."

Requesting to return home after stating you're okay.

Your letter said that you're doing ok

Reiterating your well-being followed by a plea to come back home.

But then it read: "Please, let me come back home."

Expressing fatigue and the need for someone to belong to.

Yes, you said you were so tired, so tired baby

Stating tiredness and desire for a sense of ownership or belonging.

And you wanted someone you could call your own

Wanting companionship and a sense of belonging.


But memories don't fail me woman

Reflecting on vivid memories of the day you departed.

I remember the day you left

Reaffirming the vividness of memories about your departure.

Oh my memories don't fail me baby

Asserting the lasting impression of the day you left.

I remember the day you left

Reiterating the enduring memory of your departure.

Well you know you told me then and I believe you now woman

Recalling your statement at the time of departure about being self-reliant and grown.

That you were grown and you've been take care of yourself

Believing your claim of independence and self-care.


So now here is my answer baby

Providing a response from the heart to your letter.

And the words come straight from my heart

Expressing genuine feelings while responding to your letter.

Well, here is the answer to you letter woman

Presenting a heartfelt response to the content of your letter.

And the words come straight from my heart

Reiterating a heartfelt response to your letter's content.

Yeah it's against my will I know

Acknowledging internal conflict despite still having feelings for you.

I could love you still baby

Expressing the capacity to continue loving you.

But baby I just can't play the part

Declaring the inability to pretend or act a specific role despite residual feelings.
