Baby, I'm writing you this sweet letter And I hope it finds you feeling a little betterBut I'm not just writing to talk about the weather I'm writing to sayI found me someone to take your placeTo take your placeNow I tried to wait like you asked me toBut it's been three long years and he's still got youSo I thought I'd better find me somebody toAnd that's why I, I found me someoneTo take your placeTo take your placeNow baby I guess there was a time when I would wait all my life for youBut I get lonely way in the midnight hourThinking about him being there with youAnd then a voice came to me and said get outGo out and find yourself somebody toAnd I, I, I, I remember an old woman telling meShe said son, one monkey don't stop no showNo, no babyAnd there is one more thing I'd like to say before I goMaybe I'm gonna miss you a little bit every dayAnd I know I'm gonna miss the sweet things you used to sayBut I thought it'd be better if we ended this wayAnd that's why I, I found me someoneTo take your placeTo take your placeTo take your place
