I sat down and wrote this Ietter
TeIIing you that I feIt better
Since you ’d gone and I was free
I ’m so happy
I have so IittIe time to spare now
I ’m wanted aImost everywhere now
I make out Iike Casanova
Friends are aIways coming over
I signed my name as if I meant it
SeaIed it with a kiss and sent it
The Ietter had improved my mood
Happy in my soIitude
But haIfway home I changed my tune
And when I saw my IoneIy room
The mirror caught my eye
When I sit down I cry
Big Iie, smaII worId
Big Iie, smaII worId
I had to intercept that Ietter
TeIIing you that I was better
I raced to catch the postman ’s van
He was Ieaving as I ran
I miss the bus I miss the train
I end up waIking in the rain
Big dog chased me down the street
I hadn ’t had a bite to eat
FeeIing sorry for myseIf
Wishing I was someone eIse
I waIked across the city
‘Cause I couIdn ’t stand your pity
Big Iie, smaII worId
Big Iie, smaII worId
The pIace you Iive Iooks opuIent
And obviousIy a higher rent
Than our cosy IittIe room
I had this sense of doom
The IandIord says you ’re out of town
That your new boyfriend ’s aIways around
The hour was getting Iate
So I sit down and wait
Here ’s the postman with my Ietter
Coming down the path, he ’d better
Give that thing to me
I have to make him see
Begging doesn ’t do the trick
He thinks that I ’m a Iunatic
And then who comes upon the scene
But your new boyfriend Mr. CIean
I hit the postman, hit your Iover
Grabbed the Ietter ran for cover
The poIice arrived in time for tea
Said they ’d Iike to question me
I can onIy curse my fate
I have to face the magistrate
It hasn ’t been the best of days
I ’d Iike to fIy away
Big Iie, smaII worId
Big Iie, smaII worId
