S Y S L J F M Lyrics

S. Y. S. L. J. F. M. (The letter song)  by Joe Tex

Everybody has got somebody yes they do (all right)
And everybodyÕs got their own way of saying I love you (oh yes they have)
The sooner you say it - the better it is
The softer you whisper it - the better it feels
Just make sure that when you say it, be for real

S. Y. S. L. J. F. M. - save your sweet love just for me
D. K. W. I. M. T. M. - you don't know what it means to me
D. E. T. Y. S. L. A. - don't ever take your sweet love away
I. C. L. M. L. T. W. - I can't live my life that way

Everybody has got somebody they love to talk about (and I got somebody)
Everybody got their own way of unwinding when they feel down and out (yes they have)
The sooner you unwind - the better it is
The easiest way you do it - the better it feels
Just make sure that when you do it, be for real

Y. C. C. M. A. O. T. - you can call me any old time
T. C. A. H. Y. T. U. - to come and help you to unwind
S. Y. S. L. J. F. M. - save your sweet love just for me
D. K. W. I. M. T. M. - donÕt know what it means to me

D. E. T. Y. S. L. A. - don't ever take your sweet love away
I. C. L. M. L. T. W. - I can't live my life that way
