Dear John

Everybody was talking to me
Like I was a child
In their words I could hear them saying
It's 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 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 where 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 talking to me
Like I was a child
In their words I could hear them saying
It's 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
Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away
Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes...
