| You had just walked in from work
|
| And there’s a letter in the kitchen with your name on it
|
| Inside, you will find an
|
| Answer for each question you had
|
| You had to know the day would come
|
| That I’d find out that you are a liar
|
| And a player, and the list goes on
|
| So it hurts you now
|
| But it would hurt even more if I stayed, so
|
| Hope that you can understand
|
| That you were once my man
|
| But it’s time to move on
|
| Since you’re playing games, oh
|
| You thought the day would never come
|
| Never ever thought that you
|
| Would be reading Dear John
|
| You be sure to read each line
|
| Line by line, and take your time
|
| You thought the day would never come
|
| Never ever thought that you
|
| Would be reading Dear John
|
| By the time you read this letter
|
| I’ll be feeling much better
|
| So long, it means I’m gone
|
| Guess that you are wondering
|
| How did she know that I
|
| Was the type to play you
|
| If you read, you’ll find out
|
| I have to end it
|
| Bet I was right from the start
|
| And I never took the time to ask myself
|
| Why, oh, why would you waste your time
|
| On a nigga in the club with a group of thugs
|
| You shoulda known it was on
|
| When I kept callin' your job
|
| And they said that you were sick
|
| So I paged you, don’t get no call back
|
| Now it all makes sense
|
| The two of us are not meant to be
|
| So by the time you read this letter
|
| And try to make things better
|
| Save your lines
|
| But read each one of mine
|
| Wish you’d see your game was not
|
| Strong enough to keep me holding on
|
| You be strong, time for me to go cuz
|
| You thought the day would never come
|
| Never ever thought that you
|
| Would be reading Dear John
|
| You be sure to read each line
|
| Line by line, and take your time
|
| You thought the day would never come
|
| Never ever thought that you
|
| Would be reading Dear John
|
| By the time you read this letter
|
| I’ll be feeling much better
|
| So long, it means I’m gone
|
| You thought the day would never come
|
| Never ever thought that you
|
| Would be reading Dear John
|
| You be sure to read each line
|
| Line by line, and take your time
|
| You thought the day would never come
|
| Never ever thought that you
|
| Would be reading Dear John
|
| By the time you read this letter
|
| I’ll be feeling much better
|
| So long, it means I’m gone
|
| I wish I could see the look on your face
|
| Ha ha ha, ha ha ha
|
| And you wish you could just see my face
|
| No no no, no no no
|
| You thought I was playin' when I said you had
|
| One more time, one more time
|
| But if you can play this game
|
| Then I can play it too, cuz…
|
| You thought the day would never come
|
| Never ever thought that you
|
| Would be reading Dear John
|
| You be sure to read each line
|
| Line by line, and take your time
|
