Dear John

Everybody was talkin' to me like I was a child

In their words I could hear them saying it is just a matter of time

Anyway it's a long, long race been run

Anyway it's a sad, sad song been sung

Dear John goodbye she said

Sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away

Vanity is a hard old lady, you can't read her mind

I'm a fool but I don't fool easy while you're foolin' around

Anyway I can hold my own tonight

I admit I was wrong and you were right

Dear John goodbye she said

Sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away

Dear John goodbye she said

Sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away

Dear John goodbye she said

Sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away

Everybody was talkin' to me like I was a child

In their words I could hear them saying it is just a matter of time

Anyway it's a long, long race been run

Anyway it's a sad, sad song been sung

Dear John goodbye she said

Sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away
