read me the letter, baby
do not leave out the words
stories and cigarettes ruined lives of lesser girls
and i wanna know
‘cos 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
‘cos 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, oh
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, oh
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
‘cos 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, oh
i want you to know... 
i want you to know... 
i want you to know... 
yeah, i want you to know... 
i want you to know... 
yeah, i want you to know... 
i want you to know... 
‘cos i gotta know...
yeah i gotta know... 
yeah i gotta know... 
yeah i gotta know... 
i...oh
