Ooh, if promises were dollars
I'd be a millionaire
Instead I'm living a squalor
And getting skinny and pale
You know your phone is always busy
Or else you put me on hold
I'm getting hungry and dizzy
And this is getting real old
The postman don't ring twice in my house
In fact, he don't ring at all
No UPS, no Federal Express
Won't somebody give me a call?
You say the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
Don't tell me, baby
I've heard it all before
Check's in the mail
You say the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
Don't tell me, baby
I've heard it all before
Check's in the mail
Ooh, you say, "Baby, tomorrow"
But tomorrow never comes
I got no one to borrow
It's time to get out the guns
The light in the tunnel
Is just the oncoming train
Better listen for the rumble
'Cause it's the calm before the rain
The postman don't ring twice in my house
In fact, he don't ring at all
No UPS, no Federal Express
Won't somebody give me a call?
You say the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
Don't tell me, baby
I've heard it all before
Check's in the mail
I look every day
'Cause the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
Don't tell me, baby
I'd be really surprised
Check's in the mail
Yeah!
Check's in the mail
Check's in the mail
Check's in the mail
Check's in the mail
You say the check's in the mail
Ooh, is it a lie?
Check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale?
Don't tell me, baby
I've heard it before
Check's in the mail
You say the check's in the mail
I'll be knocking down your door
Check's in the mail
I got something in store
Don't tell me, baby
Can't take it no more
You say the check's in the mail
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You say the check's in the mail
I'm getting my gun
Check's in the mail
I'm gonna have me some fun
Don't tell me, baby
'Cause I've heard it before
You say the check's in the mail
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You say the check's in the mail
Ooh, I'm gonna get my gun
Check's in the mail
Gonna have me some fun
Don't tell me, baby
'Cause I've heard it before
You say the check's in the mail
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd be a millionaire
Instead I'm living a squalor
And getting skinny and pale
