It's me, won't you write home?   Hope you're happy all alone   Now please take care   Love mum and dad      Dear Ronnie, why'd you leave us?   We hate to make a lot of fuss   What made you go?   Love mum and dad      They never understand   They never understand a single word we say   Their living's not for real   They're living for a deal too far away   Too far away, too far away      Love mum and dad      Like to know you're safe now   Wonder what's your fate now   What'd we do wrong?   Love mum and dad      They never understand   They never understand a single word we say   Their living's not for real   They're living for a deal too far away   Too far away, too far away      Love mum and dad   Love mum and dad
