Oh jealous me and careless you the odds were just too great   I couldn't take those lonely nights you made me sit and wait   I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight   Instead I see you in my dreams at night   So the key's in the mailbox come on in   I'm sitting here wishing dear I had your love again   I'll never even ask you where you've been   The key's in the mailbox come on in   [ steel - fiddle ]   I said I'd rather be alone than share your company   I said don't come around at all if you want more than me   But sitting here alone I can't deny this flame that burns   I'd gladly take you back on any terms   So the key's in the mailbox...
