I decided one day to write you a letter and tell you how much I care
And about how it feels when you walk beside me and the joy of being a pair
I remember the day we got together I remember it like today
I was struck by lightning that's why I'm writing a letter to Lulu-Mae

You were standing on the porch as I drove up the driveway as lovely as one can be
You would make any man so greatful of living and you choose a man like me
Though I work all day and sometimes all evening I never had no complaints
We've been friends though fighting that's why I'm writing a letter to Lulu-Mae

I decided one day to write you a letter from my tent here in my platoon
You send me a poem
Quite hope I'll see you soon
From your Mr. Lonely
The one and only
A letter to Lulu-Mae
