Lyrics:
She wrote:
Dear Michael
You'll probably never get this letter
Michael
I wrote you a hundred times before knowing how I feel
I'll write a hundred more

(Michael)
Dear Michael
Every time your record's on
Michael (Michael)
I close my eyes and sing along
Dreaming you're singing to me
And then she wrote:
Michael, I love you
I held the tears back long as I can
I'm sealing my feelings in this envelope
'Cause I wanna be more than just your number one fan

I'm gonna answer your letter
(Michael, Michael)
I'll start beginning with the ABC's of loving you
(Michael, Michael)
Your letter really touched my heart
I've been dreaming of meeting the picture
That you sent along
Signed with all your love
(Michael, Michael)
(I wrote you)
(She wrote)
I'm gonna write you back, ooooh, I promise you that
Girl, I think I love you
(Michael, Michael)
Hurry, hurry, mister postman
Take my letter, tell her I love her
(Michael, Michael)
Hurry, hurry, mister postman
Take my letter, tell her I love her
(Michael, Michael)
I'm gonna write you back
I promise you that... (fade)
