Dear John

Dear John, what's wrong ?

Why can't you just be anything you want ?

Why not ? Why not ?I tried to tell you then

You didn't understand

They try and pigeonhole you

Buddy, they don't even know youBut hang on my dear, dear John

Maybe you're not just like everyone

So what, so what, yeahAnd there's more to live for

Than some abbreviated encore

Much more, much moreYou can't define yourself

In terms of someone else

You can't say what you're thinking ?

But I don't know what you've been drinkingBut don't cry 'cause life, life, life goes on

Dear John, you could be anything you want

Why not ? Why not ?Why, you could even be an astronaut

Dear John, dear John
