I Want You Back


WRONG MAILBOX 

 carol put a letter in the willhagen's mailbox
 thought it was her boyfriend brett's
 it said "what you did last night took me straight to heaven
 i don't think that i've come down yet"
 when willamena willhagen read what carol wrote
 she called her husband harold downtown
 she said "don't think i don't know what you've been up to"
 then slammed that receiver back down

 old man willhagen turned to bobby bartlett 
 said "willamena knows about the game"
 mad as hell he threw a punch that nearly blinded bob
 he knew his buddy had to be to blame
 bob stumbled back into missy ann middleton
 just as she lit a cigarette
 you can well be certain when her hand hit the curtains
 they went up in flames in nothing flat

      that's how it happened, i swear that it's true
       gotta be careful 'bout the things that you do
       step on a crack and the whole world rocks
       carol put a letter in the wrong mailbox

 when the volunteers gathered, fire chief mathers
 hit the lights and pulled out into traffic
 right into the back of the carson's cadillac
 just missing martha moore's maverick
 martha turned hard into the mall courtyard
 bouncing off of others all the while
 there was flying glass and metal and when the dust had settled
 there were 37 cars in a pile

 with the fire truck stuck, downtown was out of luck
 five blocks burned to the ground
 except for the ihop and half of betty's beauty shop
 there's not much left of this town
 boyfriend brett said "it's a sure bet
 there's no work in a town this fried"
 so he headed west, but before he left
 he asked carol to be his bride 

       that's how it happened, i swear that it's true
       gotta be careful 'bout the things that you do
       step on a crack and the whole world rocks
       carol put a letter in the wrong mailbox
