Patti Page — Don't Read the Letter lyrics

The page contains the lyrics of the song "Don't Read the Letter" by Patti Page.

Lyrics

Pay no mind to the things that I said
Don’t read the letter I wrote you
Just tear it to pieces instead
After we quarrelled last evening
I wrote you a note of goodbye
Then when you called me this morning
I sat down and started to cry
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
I know that I acted hasty
Yes my words were heartless and cruel
Is it too late to be sorry?
Forgive me for being a fool
Just tear it in pieces instead
