[Verse 1]
My, my, the time do fly when it's in another pair of hands
And a loser I will be for I've never been a winner in my life
I got used to stressing pain, I used the sucker pills to pity for the self
Oh, it's the animal in me, but I'd rather be a beggar man on the shelf

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
On a better day, I'll take you by the hand
And I'll walk you through the doors
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm

[Chorus]
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

[Verse 2]
My, my, but time do fly when it's in another pair of pants
And illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner, la di da

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
[Chorus]
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

[Bridge]
England
*gibberish*

[Chorus]
Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

[Outro]
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
