Dear John |
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 |
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 |
