Gene Mitchell Write Me a Note lyrics

Verse 1
Friday afternoon, I've been working all week
I've got a little money to spend
Tonight I have a date, but first I decided
I would go out with some of my friends
We laugh and we joke about the Big Boss Man
How we need more pay
I saw I had a message on my phone
I listened and I heard her say

Chorus
Why don't you write me a note
Why don't you call on the phone
Why are you out with all your friends
While I wait for you all alone
Why don't you tap on my window
Why don't you knock on my door
You'd better do something fast
Because I don't want to wait for you anymore

Verse 3
So I ran from my friends as fast as I could
With one thing on my mind
Get to her and apologize
While I still had time
I got to her street, her house was dark
Yes, she had gone to bed
A letter was taped to her front door
This is how it read

Chorus
Why don't you write me a note
Why don't you call on the phone
Why are you out with all your friends
While I wait for you all alone
Why don't you tap on my window
Why don't you knock on my door
You'd better do something fast

Because I don't want to wait for you anymore

Instrumental

Verse 3
So I called on the phone and I knocked on her door
Handed her a note
She smiled at me when she looked down
And read the words I wrote
I am so sorry, please forgive me
Can we still be friends
She winked and said, we can be more than that
If I never have to say again

Chorus
Why don't you write me a note
Why don't you call on the phone
Why are you out with all your friends
While I wait for you all alone
Why don't you tap on my window
Why don't you knock on my door
You'd better do something fast
Because I don't want to wait for you anymore
Chorus
Why don't you write me a note
Why don't you call on the phone
Why are you out with all your friends
While I wait for you all alone
Why don't you tap on my window
Why don't you knock on my door
You'd better do something fast
Because I don't want to wait for you anymore
So, if you're late, no joke
Just remember to write the note
