Dear Mrs. Pepper
You're going to wait forever
If you think he's ever coming home
Oh, Mrs. Pepper
Let's do this thing together
It's time you realize he's gone
You can’t go on pretending like there’s nothing wrong
Nobody really wants to be alone
Just take a look around you and find someone to love
Oh, Mrs. Pepper
We were two of a feather
‘Til he stole your heart away
You were his treasure
Then came the stormy weather
He disappeared without a trace
It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done to watch you walk away
With a man who could never settle down
I wish things had worked better, but I’m here for you now
Look at who's taking over
I'll be your four leaf clover
You can’t go on pretending like there’s nothing wrong
Nobody really wants to be alone
Just look over your shoulder, you’ve got someone to love
Dear Mrs. Pepper
