I decided one day to write you a letter
And tell you how much I care
And about how it feels when you walk beside me
And the joy of being a pair
I remember the day we got together
I remember it like today
I was struck by lightning
That's why I'm writing a letter to Lulu-Mae
You were standing on the porch
As I drove up the driveway, as lovely as one can be
You would make any man so grateful of living
And you choose a man like me
Though I work all day and sometimes all evening
I never had no complaints
We've been friends though fighting
That's why I'm writing a letter to Lulu-Mae
I decided one day to write you a letter
From my tent here in my platoon, you send me a poem
Quite hope I'll see you soon from your Mr. Lonely
The one and only, a letter to Lulu-Mae
