You Meant It Then - The Proclaimers

My fingers hold an old love letter

Written in your hand

Sent to myself, sent to myself

I read it now and I feel better and when I can stand

I’ll drink to your health, drink to your health

You say that it’s a scrap of paper dated way back when

But you meant it then, you meant it then

My fingers hold an old love letter

Written in your hand

Sent to myself, sent to myself

I read it now and I feel better and when I can stand

I’ll drink to your health, drink to your health

You say that it’s a scrap of paper dated way back when

But you meant it then, you meant it then

I meant it too cause it was true

Tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m wrong

Tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m wrong

Tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m wrong

My memory holds another letter, written in my hand

Sent to yourself, this was sent to yourself

You tore it to a hundred pieces and I understand

Cause I was bad for your health, bad for your health

I’ll never write another letter, I won’t get hurt again

But I meant it then, I meant it then
