lyrics

It had been a decade since her husband was alive
We encouraged Pamela to move on
I’ll admit we were concerned that she believed he would return
to love her once more, Pamela watching the door

Finally we broke her down,
she went online made an account
Her photo by the garden
For a while no callers called
until a pleasant man named Paul
Who lived two states away, they started writing everyday

Love came back for Pamela
She bought a brand new camera
Summer, fall, a letter from Paul
It said I love you
I love you too
If it happened to her, it could happen to you

It came time for them to get together
Paul said he might like Michigan weather
So he would come to her after traveling for work
He said Pammy wait for me
before he flew over the sea

His next letter said Darling, I’ve been shot and I’ve been robbed
I’m stranded without identification
I write to you with urgency
the doc won’t do the surgery until the bill’s been paid
My love, I’m so afraid

There was no time to doubt of spare
When love pulls up you pay the fare
She took out all her money
She followed the criteria, and sent it to Nigeria
He’s coming soon she’s sure
Pamela watching the door,
Pamela watching the door

La la la la Pamela
La la la la Camera
La la la la I love you
If it happened to her it could happen to you
