Baby, I'm writing you this sweet letter And I hope it finds you feeling a little better
But I'm not just writing to talk about the weather I'm writing to say
I found me someone to take your place
To take your place
Now I tried to wait like you asked me to
But it's been three long years and he's still got you
So I thought I'd better find me somebody to
And that's why I, I found me someone
To take your place
To take your place
Now baby I guess there was a time when I would wait all my life for you
But I get lonely way in the midnight hour
Thinking about him being there with you
And then a voice came to me and said get out
Go out and find yourself somebody to
And I, I, I, I remember an old woman telling me
She said son, one monkey don't stop no show
No, no baby
And there is one more thing I'd like to say before I go
Maybe I'm gonna miss you a little bit every day
And I know I'm gonna miss the sweet things you used to say
But I thought it'd be better if we ended this way
And that's why I, I found me someone
To take your place
To take your place
To take your place
