[Verse 1]
I was a pitiful young man
I did the best, I did everything I can
All I ever wanted was your hand
I needed someone to love

[Verse 2]
So let me tell you about sweet Annalee
She did whatever with me as she pleased
I saw our story in the stars above
Turns out I was just a fool who fell in love

[Chorus]
So if you need me honey, then you’ll see
You share a little in my misery
Cause every heart bears a lover's cross
These are my letters from thе war of love and loss

[Verse 3]
So I went and travelеd far and wide
Looking for lovers to satiate my pride
But all their kisses couldn’t compare to you
So I kept moving along

[Chorus]
Well if you need me honey, then you’ll see
You share a little in my misery
Cause every heart bears a lover's cross
These are my letters from the war of love and loss
[Verse 4]
Well I’ve stopped waiting for the phone to ring
I pawned off that old diamond ring
Every kiss we share has a cost
These are my letters from the war of love and loss

Oh la dee da dee, oh la dee da doh
Oh la dee da dee, oh la dee da doh
Oh la dee da dee, oh la dee da doh
Oh la dee da dee, oh la dee da doh
Oh la dee da dee, oh la dee da doh
Oh la dee da dee, oh la dee da doh

[Chorus]
Well if you need me honey, then you’ll see
You share a little in my misery
Cause every heart bears a lover's cross
These are my letters from the war of love and loss

Well if you need me honey, then you’ll see
You share a little in my misery
Cause every heart bears a lover's cross
These are my letters from the war of love and loss
