Don't Read the Letter [German translation]

Oh, don't read the letter I wrote you

Pay no mind to the things that I said

Don't read the letter I wrote you

Just tear it in pieces instead

After we quarrelled last evening

I wrote you a note of goodbye

Then when you called me this morning

I sat down and started to cry

Oh, don't read the letter I wrote you

Pay no mind to the things that I said

Don't read the letter I wrote you

Just tear it in pieces instead

Ran down the street to the mailman

And asked him, "Oh, what should I do?"

He told me I could do nothing

'Cause he'd given my letter to you

Oh, don't read the letter I wrote you

Pay no mind to the things that I said

Don't read the letter I wrote you

Just tear it in pieces instead

I know that I acted hasty

Yes, my words were heartless and cruel

Is it too late to be sorry?

Forgive me for being a fool

Oh, don't read the letter I wrote you

Pay no mind to the things that I said

Don't read the letter I wrote you

Just tear it in pieces instead

Just tear it in pieces instead
