My Dear Laurens What do I have to do To try to explain That I love you I didn’t understand it Before you said adieu I hardly knew your value to me in my heart Until it was set on you
But I should give you your space I don’t mean to start But when I picture your face I know you’ve stolen my heart And it’s a little rude I mean you should have asked me first I would have let you But instead I’m immersed(?) to be The truest friend to you that’s true Could ever want to be So my plan is just to love you The way that you’ve loved me
My Dear Laurens I've gotten your letters from Philly to Chester And everything in between If you’d seen what I’ve seen You’d know you were doing it right You know were fighting the fight the way you should be You were born for aid de camp And whoever has a doubt Doesn’t know the dignity you have within So they can see themselves out
Now my dear Laurens A bit about my life I was hoping while you were in Carolina You could find me a wife You know that my standards are high But I have a feeling that you are just the guy Who can understand That you win your man You need to know how to satisfy satisfy She’s gotta be young, and cute, with lots of loot And from a good family tree Kind of gentle, sentimental, knows how to listen to me She’s gotta be educated, 5-star rated, beautiful as hell Not good but great A total 18 century bombshell
I’m sure they’ll ask how I look A sketch should do the trick And you know how to draw my eyes, my hair The length of my di- nose
My dear Laurens I don’t even want a wife I’d be happy to lead a simple life But what was I even looking to do Made a fool of myself just to impress you I wish that I could journey by To where you are But I guess this letter will do
