Read me the letter, baby,   Do not leave out the words.   Stories and cigarettes ruined lives of lesser girls,   And I wanna know,   'Cause I want you to know,      And it's a strange condition,   A day in prison,   It's got me out of my head   And I don't know what I came for.      Send me the money, baby,   Do not leave out the wage.   You know you're the best thing ever   To come out of this place,   Hey I want you to know,   'Cause I wanna know      And it's a strange condition,   A day in prison,   It's got me out of my head   And I don't know what I came for,   I want you to know...      It's a strange condition,   A day in prison,   It's got me out of my head   And I don't know what I came for,      I want you to know,   I want you to know...      So leave out the others, baby,   Say I'm the only one,   Cut out the uniforms   And settle with the sun,   Hey I want you to know,      'Cause I wanna know,      And it's a strange condition,   And life in prison,   It's got me outta my head   And I don't know what I came for,   I want you to know...      'Cause I wanna know,      Yeah I gotta know
